Woman slaps VMC engineer over parking

Vadodara: An additional assistant engineer of Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) was allegedly slapped by a woman on Vasna Road on Tuesday morning.
The civic body staffer Megha Vankar and Asha Vaghela were attacked by Rakhi Thakor when they had gone to inspect a road cave-in on Vasna Road. According to Vankar, they had parked their scooter outside Shobhanagar Society and were inspecting the crater.
Meanwhile, Thakor honked from her car as the scooter was blocking her road. After the scooter was moved, Thakor allegedly got into a verbal duel with Vankar. When Vankar explained that she and Vaghela are employees of VMC and have come to inspect the cave-in, Thakor got enraged and slapped Vankar.
When Vaghela intervened, a scuffle ensued. The matter cooled down only when other VMC staffers who were passing from there, intervened and police too reached there. Vaghela had called police control room to inform about the scuffle.
Vankar later lodged an offence of causing hurt to a public servant, insulting and criminal intimidation against Thakor at JP Road police station.
