Vasai Residents Demand Shop Closure After Doctor Couple Assault

A doctor couple and two other people were reportedly attacked in Vasai.

The trouble began after an argument about a vehicle parked near a clinic.

The doctors were leaving when they were stopped near a residential society gate and assaulted.

Police have registered a case against four people whose identities have not been made public.

Residents say people drink and park vehicles near the shop, and that women have been harassed there.

They held a sit-in and asked for the shop to close permanently.

Residents also say earlier complaints did not lead to concrete action.

A possible political connection was mentioned, but officials have not confirmed it.
