Lawyer Sangeetha was attacked by her neighbour Mahantesh.
The incident was captured on video and showed Manthesh attacking the woman with great rage and force. The intensity of the slaps forces the woman back, she is also kicked in the stomach, it showed. As the woman picks up a plastic chair to defend herself, the man kicks her again and lands more slaps, the video showed.
Even though there are people around, but none came forward to help the woman, who is thrashed around mercilessly.
