Two weeks after Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar twisted the arm of a woman protesting the electrocution of two people in Golibar, Santacruz, women gathered in protest at Shivaji Park on Monday asking why 'no action had been taken'. What investigations have been conducted against him?" asked a woman, demanding that the mayor be made to leave his post.

One of the women at Shivaji Par, Jyoti Badekar, said, "The woman who was targetted by the mayor may have taken back her complaint and is being forced to gloss over the incident. If this is what such a prominent citizen can do to a woman at a public protest, what is the plight of ordinary women in their homes?"
