A BJP lawmaker in Gujarat is on camera thrashing and kicking a woman on a street, ignoring her screams, until a man stops him with a blow. In a video clip circulated on social media, the attacker, a BJP legislator named Balram Thawani, is seen assaulting the woman who was reportedly participating in a protest over water supply in Naroda in Ahmedabad.
Nitu Tejwani, a supporter of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has filed a complaint against her attacker.
According to witnesses, she was already being manhandled by another man when Balram Thawani came out of his office and joined him in beating her.
