A ruckus broke at a women’s empowerment event in Delhi on Tuesday when a woman, who was addressing the gathering on stage suddenly started thrashing a man standing beside her with her slipper, when he tried to stop her from speaking.
The event– ‘Beti Bachao’ mahapanchayat– was organised by Hindu Ekta Manch over the horrific Shraddha Walkar murder case in the city.
In a video of the incident shared by the news agency ANI, the woman is seen expressing her grievances over alleged police inaction over her daughter’s elopement with the son of the man standing beside her.

“It has been five days that I’m being hassled at the police station. No one is listening to me,” she said into the microphone when the man standing right next to her seemingly tried to stop her from speaking against his son.
Suddenly, the woman turned to the side, took out her slippers and started hitting him. Others present on stage tried to break them apart and pacify the situation, and the woman was later taken off the stage.
As per media reports, no police complaint has been lodged so far and further details are awaited.
The Hindu Ekta Manch later clarified that it was a personal dispute and both parties were related.
“It was a personal dispute. The man is not associated in any way with the Hindu Ekta Manch. The matter was resolved immediately. No police complaint was filed,” Hindu Ekta Manch worker Laxman Singh said.
Giving further details about the incident, he said the women’s daughter and the man’s son recently got married in a court.
“The respective families were unhappy about the match, but later agreed and even exchanged sweets. But I do not know why she went on the stage. As the event was for women, we allowed her to speak. The man, who is a social worker, assisted her, but she started assaulting him,” Singh said.
The event was organised to demand justice for Shraddha Walker who was brutally killed by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala.
