At the centre of the midnight commotion were a young woman, men from the Mumbai Police and a security guard. Videos — available on social media and retrieved from the building’s CCTV system — showed the woman, at various points, hitting a security guard, shouting and screaming at Mumbai Police officers and angrily stripping down to her underwear.
The woman had herself shared a Twitter post of the incident on October 26, 2018 and uploaded the same on on Facebook on October 28, 2018.
The Mumbai Police had replied to the lady’s October 26 post asking her to share more details privately. A day later, the Mumbai Police — replying to another of her tweets’ — said,
