A woman from Bangalore, who was in Mumbai for her friend’s engagement party, has alleged that she was molested at 145 cafe and bar in Bandra West and the management took no action against the man at the time. Instead, she was asked to leave the pub, the 30-year-old digital illustrator said. The incident happened at the Pali Hill joint in Bandra West, on Saturday night and was captured on a CCTV camera. She posted the footage on Instagram the next day, seeking help to identify the man or his friends.

The incident

Speaking to mid-day, she said, “I was in Mumbai with my family to attend my friend’s engagement ceremony. After the ceremony, we went to 145 Bandra. We were dancing when a man, taking advantage of the crowd, moved close to me and groped me from behind.” “I caught his hand, turned around and slapped him. As I confronted him, a few of his friends apologised to me, but the others tried protecting him and asked me to calm down,” she added.
