Mumbai: A woman from Wadala in Mumbai was allegedly assaulted by a female massage therapist of an app-based service provider after she cancelled the session midway as she felt uncomfortable, police said on Friday. The incident took place on Wednesday.
The 46-year-old woman had booked the appointment for a massage as part of treatment for a frozen shoulder. In her complaint, she claimed she became uncomfortable with the therapist’s behaviour during the visit and decided to cancel the session.
Police said the therapist, enraged by the cancellation, allegedly verbally abused and physically assaulted the woman.
The victim then called the police during the incident. However, by the time a police team arrived at the spot, the accused had fled, officials said.
The Wadala police have registered a non-cognisable offence and initiated an investigation into the matter.
A video related to the incident has also surfaced on social media, the police added.
