Three drug addicts barged into a Govandi household in the early hours yesterday and assaulted a 26-year-old woman as well as her brother and mother. Cops reveal that the incident was a revenge crime, as the victim had verbally abused one of the assailants when he had attempted to molest her a few hours earlier.

According to the Shivaji Nagar police, the 26-year-old victim, a resident of Baiganwadi, Shivaji Nagar, was on her way home after visiting the public toilet in the locality at around 1 am last morning, when she was stopped by Paapa Kaliya (30), a drug addict.
