Screen grab of the CCTV footage
HYDERABAD: A watchman working at an apartment building in Chandanagar was assaulted by the building owner’s daughter on Tuesday.
Police sent a letter to the court seeking permission to register a case after a video of the incident went viral on social media.

In the video, the woman is seen entering the building premises when she is stopped by the watchman. The woman gets out of her car and goes on to thrash the victim. She is even seen using her footwear to beat up the watchman.
“The watchman, Mohammed Rafia, had stopped the woman when she entered. The woman was angry as the watchman had stopped her earlier as well,” said Chandanagar inspector, B Ravinder.
After receiving a petition from the watchman, police sent a requisition to the court for permission to register a case. “The contents of the petition attract sections 323 and 506 of IPC which are non- cognizable sections. We sent a requisition to the court for permission. After obtaining permission, we will register the case,” the inspector said.
