A parking dispute escalated into accusations of assault and criminal intimidation in Mumbai's Santacruz area, officials reported on Thursday.

A woman, reportedly a fashion designer, claimed she was assaulted and abused by a resident and his two sons while trying to resolve a parking obstruction. The incident allegedly occurred when the complainant visited the vehicle owner's house to request the removal of a car blocking their exit.

Charges under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita have been filed against the accused, yet no arrests have been made. Meanwhile, the accused family also lodged a counter-complaint against the woman, intensifying the legal drama.
