In an embarrassing development for the BJP, the Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against two of its activists for allegedly molesting a woman worker inside a party Municipal Corporator's office when the nation was celebrating Independence Day last year, at the height of the pandemic lockdown.

The incident sparked off another bitter political fued between Maharashtra's ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi and the opposition BJP, with the latter demanding to know why the issue was being raked up after one year by the victim.
