The Mankhurd police on Friday booked four vegetable vendors, including two women, for assaulting policemen and BMC officials when they tried to seize their handcarts, which have been banned during the lockdown.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials said a large crowd had gathered at Lallubhai compound when the vendors came with their handcarts and they were facing difficulty in enforcing social distancing so they called the cops. They seized several handcarts but one family protested and attacked the police officers and the civic officials.
