The Mumbai Police is investigating complaints of high-handedness against Senior Inspector Shalini Sharma, by women protesting at Nagpada's Mumbai Bagh. The protesters claimed that the police had objected to the temporary shed erected by them at the protest site. The police arrived at the protest site to remove the shed on Thursday, and they allegedly beat the protesters. Seven women were injured in the assault by the police, who were treated at Mumbai Central's Nair Hospital.

Hundreds of women have been protesting against the CAA-NRC at Moreland Road in Nagpada, since January 26. "The incident occurred at 5.30 am on Friday when some protesters were setting up sheds to protect themselves from the sun. The policemen posted at the site tried to remove the shed, after which they started hitting the protesters," said Guddi Shamla Lalta Prasad, a protestor.
