A woman dancer performing at a pre-wedding celebration in Pachagon village in Nuh was brutally assaulted after she objected to inappropriate behaviour by a relative of the groom.

The incident, caught on camera, showed a man trying to touch the performer inappropriately. She responded by slapping his arm, following which the man attacked her. Within moments, several others in the crowd joined in, thrashing her and other dancers and tearing their clothes. The performers were eventually pulled to safety by members of their team and women attending the gathering.

The video has since gone viral, leading to an outcry. Police say they are investigating the matter, though an FIR had not been registered till the time of filing this report.
