Just two months after a Manipuri woman was viciously assaulted in Kalina, Santacruz, another woman from the state residing in the same locality was thrashed, along with a friend, and molested by a gang of three men early on Sunday. To add insult to injury, the police filed a cross-FIR against the woman, who had hit back at her assailants.

The victims are in the Byculla jail, while two of their attackers have been sent to police custody.
