At a time when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is trying to enforce COVID-19 protocols, three women beat up and injured a clean-up marshal, who asked them to pay a fine for not wearing masks. The marshal, Darshana Chauhan, was checking people near Bhandup railway station when the incident happened. The accused have been arrested by the Bhandup cops and are currently in police custody.

A civic official said that the clean-up marshals were having a tough time dealing with citizens as many of them get into a fight or start abusing them. Even in the previous months, there were reports of citizens abusing and manhandling clean-up marshals.
