This was soon followed by more individuals joining in, provoking a fight and physically assaulting the women.
According to the FIR, one of the women was molested and had her clothes torn during the incident. The complaint also alleges the accused used racist slurs and inappropriate language, and that one woman was attacked with a bamboo stick while attempting to escape.
