A woman was arrested for allegedly beating up a four-year-old girl brutally and robbing her inside the lift of a residential building in suburban Trombay in Mumbai, police said on Thursday.
The incident came to light on Wednesday after CCTV footage of the incident was aired by some websites.
HORIBLE #crime!
Rizwana Begum the woman in the CCTV footage brutally assaulted a 4-yr-old girl in the lift. She later sat on the girl & prevented people to rescue her too. @MumbaiPolice has arrested her. Hope she’s dealt severely for this inhuman behaviour. @ChemburChapters pic.twitter.com/rpA6NsT31h— @PotholeWarriors Foundation? #RoadSafety???? (@PotholeWarriors) November 15, 2018
Rizwana Begum, the accused, was arrested the same day under IPC section 394 (voluntarily causing hurt while committing robbery), a senior police official said.
In the 2-minute-long video, the woman is seen brutally thrashing the girl who is crying in pain. Rizwana Begum allegedly snatched away the girl’s ear-rings, the official said. Police recovered them from Begum after she was arrested. Further probe is on.
