MUMBAI: An unidentified biker has been booked for spitting on a Manipuri woman in Santacruz (E) on Monday when she and her friend were walking from Geeta Vihar Junction towards Kalina Military Camp where essential goods were being distributed. Additional commissioner of police (west region) Manoj Sharma said Vakola police are scanning CCTV footage of the route to zero in on the biker.
The 25-year-old complainant said: “The biker removed his mask, spat on me and sped away. We did not see the registration number as we were in shock. I am worried that his action could expose me to coronavirus infection.”
After her friend posted about the incident on Facebook, the National Commission for Women in Delhi tweeted: “Yet another case of racial discrimination amid #COVID19outbreak, a miscreant spat on a north-eastern girl at Kalina Market area in Mumbai. NCW is looking into this matter for appropriate action.”
