Actress-model Neha Chudasama, who represented India in Miss Universe 2018, revealed shocking details of being assaulted in Mumbai by someone she knew for the past two years. She stated that the incident took place on February 16, and the man has now been arrested by the Mumbai Police.
On Tuesday, Nehal took to her Instagram handle to reveal the spine-chilling details of the attack on her. "On 16th Feb, I was Physically assaulted. (Trigger warning). My left wrist & arm were twisted with great force. I was slapped on my face too hard which left a ringing ear, my cheek turned red. I was held & thrown in a way that I had bruises on my body along with being threatened to run over me by his car (sic)," she wrote.
She went on to say that the "40-year-old super built man" damaged the front doors of her car and hurled abuses at her "at the top of his lungs in public". She also revealed that she had known the man for two years.
"I was being stalked in public places & mentally tortured in innumerable ways, over the past few months. My stern but polite expression to stop doing this provoked the guy to verbally abuse & physically assault me like a monster (sic)," she shared, adding that she tried to fight back with the man, and two other women also helped her, but in vain.
"After the abuser left the scene threatening to run his car over me, I immediately rushed to the nearest police station for an FIR. Thanks to @mumbaipolice for all the investigation & help. The person was arrested. Besides this, I lately discovered this person had fraud & other criminal cases on him too (sic)," she added.
In the caption, Nehal added that she does not intend to gain sympathy by sharing the incident, but rather wants to empower women to take a stand for themselves. "Women aren't safe not in households, not in social circles, no where. As we celebrate women's day on 8th march - A woman's SOUL YELLS OUT OF EXTREME RAGE- Physical assault is a crime..We ain't tolerating that shit. Whatever it takes (sic)," she wrote.
While Nehal did not reveal the name of her abuser, she mentioned that she would do it in when the time is right.
