A CCTV video of Mumbai’s Dongri area is circulating on social media and it features a man following and harassing Muslim women on a street.
Women are scared with the footage circulated and there have been calls for tough action against the accused.
According to reports on the internet, the incident happened in Dongri, a densely populated area of South Mumbai. The CCTV footage shows a man repeatedly following a group of Muslim women in what witnesses have described as suspicious and intimidating behaviour.
The exact sequence of events are still being determined but the video has drawn widespread attention in the media and on social media.
One of the most talked-about aspects of the incident is the quick response of a nearby shopkeeper. The shopkeeper appeared to have seen what was happening and intervened to help the women, as seen in the video.
The video has been widely shared on X (previously Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and many users have praised the shopkeeper’s bravery. Several social media users have also called on Mumbai Police to investigate further and take appropriate legal action if the allegations are confirmed.
At the time of writing, authorities have not provided any detailed information of the identity of the accused or whether any arrests have been made. The victims are yet to formally lodge a complaint. The CCTV footage will be reviewed in any investigation into the incident and will be considered as part of the investigation.

The incident has once again raised issues over the safety of women in public areas. Citizens and activists alike have emphasized the importance of reporting suspicious behavior immediately and encouraging bystanders to help victims when possible.
Legal experts say harassment, stalking and intimidation are crimes under Indian law and CCTV footage is often crucial evidence in such investigations. But videos circulated on social media should not be treated as conclusive proof until they are officially verified.
The bravery of the local shopkeeper has been praised by many and people say his actions are a sign of responsible citizenship. His intervention is an example of how alert members of the public can help to protect vulnerable people while protecting themselves as well.
As the video is still being circulated online, many are waiting for the Mumbai Police to say something on this case. Public demands justice and more actions must be taken to keep women's safety in mind in the city, and social media users are across the city until now, but we are waiting for a Police Chief’s response.
