A young woman was brutally assaulted by three women outside her building in Navi Mumbai’s Ghansoli area after they suspected her of having an affair with their married brother.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident took place in the early hours of Sunday when the victim stepped out of her building. The trio allegedly stopped her and sought to confirm her identity before stating, “Why are you trying to break up our brother’s home?” Without waiting for a reply, they allegedly began hitting her.
