A woman from Navi Mumbai was attacked following a disagreement about water use during the Holi festivities.

During the Holi celebrations, a fight broke out between a Navi Mumbai woman, her son, and a mother over water waste.

According to police, a dispute over the use of water during Holi celebrations in a housing complex led to the beating of a 27-year-old woman in Taloja, Navi Mumbai.

The victim went up to the housing society watchman on Monday to express concern about the water waste that had occurred during the Holi celebrations. She requested him to issue a water-use advisory. But this led to a fight between the complex’s 24-year-old son and his 50-year-old mother, according to PTI.
The victim was attacked by the accused, who allegedly caused serious injuries, as the altercation progressed, according to the complaint and the police.


Following that, an official confirmed to the PTI report that a case was filed at the Taloja police station under sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from the discharge of duty) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
