A group administrator on WhatsApp can be a risky job, as a former city president of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Kalyan East found yesterday. The 51-year-old was assaulted by about 12 people who also blackened his face, after a picture of Cabinet minister Eknath Shinde and a woman, Shobha Gamladu, who was arrested for running a prostitution racket, was circulated on the group. Subhash Mhaske, a committee member of Kalyan-Dombivli Transport Service, maintains that he was not aware of the picture. He has registered a case with the Kolsewadi police station.
