Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials have been accused of assaulting two youths - one works for a national news TV channel - as one of them was not wearing a mask. The youths have been arrested by the Malwani police for assaulting BMC officials. While a police officer has claimed to have seen the accused abusing the BMC officials, the father of one of the youths has alleged that they were falsely implicated. It is also being claimed that the police registered the FIR and arrested the youths without investigation.

The youths have been charged with sections 333 (Voluntarily causing grievous hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 353 (Assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC.
