The woman had complained about the misbehaviour of the youths from her place to her parents and family. The elders of the community called the youths who misbehaved with the woman to their village from Mumbai.

They held a meeting and decided to tonsure their heads and parade them in the village by putting a garland of slippers.

The news stirred a controversy and questioned the police department about villagers having their own set of law violating rules.
