Shocking footage circulating on social media shows a woman in Mumbai, India, punching an official after being fined for not wearing a mask.

According to India Today, the woman assaulted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation official after she fined her for travelling in a rickshaw without a mask in Mumbai’s Kandivalli area.
