We got into the lift. There were already five people in it when two more people entered the lift. The hostess at Social informed these two men to leave and they refused to budge. My friend once again asked them to leave the lift. They were angered by that and that was when the fight broke out.
Rushali Pawar told the The News Minute

‘Was Pushed, Slapped Across the Face’

Pawar added that she was pushed while her friend was slapped across the face and that there was no security personnel around at the time of the incident.

My friends Karan and Siddanth came running and tried to stop them but they were also assaulted. I was also pushed. I felt a jerk and moved to the side and my phone flew away from my hand.
