NEW DELHI: The incident involving the assault of a female receptionist at a paediatric clinic in Kalyan East has taken a new turn with fresh CCTV footage showing that the receptionist had first slapped the attacker’s relative moments before she was violently assaulted.
On Monday evening at Dr Aniket Palande's Shree Balchikitsalaya Clinic in Nandivali, Mumbai, a man, identified as Gokul Jha, kicked the receptionist, dragging her by the hair, and slamming her to the ground inside the clinic.
However, a second video now reveals that an argument had broken out between the receptionist and Jha’s family, which included one of his relatives, another woman, a man, and a child. During the exchange, Jha moved threateningly toward the receptionist but was pulled back by his relative. Despite being asked to leave, he re-entered the area and was pushed away again by the woman accompanying him.
As the argument continued, the receptionist left her desk, threw papers on the floor, and approached the sister-in-law who remained in the reception area. She slapped the woman while gesturing toward Jha and the others, continuing to shout. Following this, the other man in the group confronted the receptionist, and Jha returned, assaulting her with a kick and slamming her to the ground. He was then pulled away by those with him. Bystanders helped the injured receptionist into a chair.
The victim, identified as Sonali Kalasar, is a resident of Pisavali village in Kalyan and works at Dr Aniket Palande's Shree Bal Chikitsalaya Clinic in Nandivali. She is currently undergoing treatment for her injuries.
Gokul Jha, 25, was arrested by Manpada police in Dombivli on Tuesday after allegedly attempting to evade capture by changing his appearance. He was presented before the Kalyan District and Sessions Court on Wednesday, which sent him to police custody for two days.
