A 27-year-old lady was beaten in Taloja, Navi Mumbai, after a disagreement about the usage of water during Holi celebrations in a housing complex, according to police. 


The victim approached the housing society's watchman to voice worry over the wastage of water during the Holi celebrations on Monday. She asked him to warn people to use water sparingly. However, this resulted in a dispute between a 50-year-old mother and her 24-year-old son, who live in the complex, reported PTI.
