Faridabad, India — Chaos erupted at a spa in Faridabad, Haryana, during a violent altercation involving the establishment’s female staff and a group of men. The confrontation reportedly stemmed from a dispute over a massage request, escalating into a physical assault that has drawn widespread condemnation after being captured on video.
The incident took place at a spa located on Puri High Street in Sector 81. Eyewitness accounts and footage circulating on social media depict a group of approximately 8 to 10 men assaulting several women, utilizing punches, kicks, and other violent tactics. The graphic nature of the video has sparked outrage among viewers, many of whom have called for immediate action.
Mamta Rajput, the spa owner, stated that the altercation began around 3 p.m. on a recent Saturday when two men visited to inquire about massage services. One of the men, reportedly intoxicated, began harassing a female employee at the reception area. After being asked to leave, he continued to verbally abuse the staff, prompting further escalation.
Following this initial confrontation, the man returned with a group of companions. As tensions rose, one female staff member attempted to defend herself with a stick, only to be met with an even more aggressive response from the group.
