As residents in the slum area started a protest against the action, journalist Priyanka Borpujari and other women also joined in, he said. Some slum-dwellers, including women, entered into a scuffle with BMC and police personnel, during which a woman protester allegedly bit a hand of the police constable, he said.



An offence was registered against Borpujari and her four colleagues at BKC Police Station. Nobody was arrested so far, he said, adding that a probe is underway.
