According to Rakesh Shetty, who captured the episode on his mobile phone camera, the incident took place on May 11 when the woman and her husband reached the police station for a complaint but the accused--sub-inspector Riyaz Mulani-- refused to lend them an ear.
Although the couple have not yet sought any action against the officer, Shetty went ahead and complained about the alleged assault on the woman to Kandivali Police.
His video grab shows the police officer hitting the lady with a wooden stick inside the police station premises.
The complainant told PTI that he also apprised all higher officials in the police department about the incident including the city police chief but no case has been lodged against Mulani yet.
Meanwhile, DCP (Operations) Sangramsingh Nishandar said that ACP (Borivali Division) has been entrusted with the job to conduct an inquiry into the alleged incident.
