While booking the cab, the man who asked for help started passing lewd comments against my wife and sister. When we objected to their behaviour, they became aggressive, called some eight-nine of their friends and started beating us," the man was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, his wife recalled the incident and alleged that the group had pulled her hair, kicked her on the ground and tried to drag her.
"I thought I was going to die, everyone was going to die as they did not stop beating us, no one stopped them too," the woman said.
