Pervert makes lewd comments, then slaps woman

And then hits passer-by, who tried to help her, bloodying his face

Subhash Salgude, a contractor, passed a lewd comment about student Arti Kale (name changed) at Ghatkopar station yesterday and when she protested, he slapped her.

A passer-by who tried to rein in Salgude was also beaten up.

Kale, a BA student at Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College, was on the station's platform no 1 at 4.45 pm when Salgude passed a vulgar comment about her breasts.

"When I passed by that man [Salgude], he made a vulgar comment.

I was angry, so I retraced my steps and asked him to repeat the comment. But he said he hadn't said anything and then started abusing me. I had clearly heard what he said, so I pushed him," said Kale.
