After mid-day's report on Monday, about a trans woman beaten up in Andheri bar on October 23, the MIDC police on Tuesday arrested all three accused. The three, Vijay Hurmathkar, 28, Ganesh Kadam, 30, and Vishesh Solanki, 25 are residents of Sion. The woman, Shivali Chhetri who is a model, had alleged that instead of arresting them the day she complained, the police released them after only serving them notices.

The accused were produced before Bandra holiday court on Tuesday and have been sent to judicial custody. Lawyer Devanand Mangaonkar who appeared for the accused, said, "The allegations against my clients are baseless. The complainant and the accused know each other and were partying at the place where the alleged incident took place. The police must examine CCTV footage properly, the case seems to be filed with malafide intentions." Chhetri denied knowing the accused.
