Mumbai, July 2: In the latest development to the altercation that erupted between former cricketer Vinod Kambli's wife Andrea Hewitt and singer Ankit Tiwari's father on Sunday evening at Inorbit Mall in Mumbai, the man has filed a police complaint against Kambli and his wife for assaulting him. According to a report on Mumbai Mirror, Tiwari approached the Bangur Nagar police and filed a complaint against Kambli and his wife. In his statement, he mentioned that not only did Kambli's wife assault him, but even his bodyguards also manhandled his son, while they were enjoying their weekend at Inorbit Mall in Goregaon West.

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, Kambli's wife has been quoted as saying, "I was playing with my children when this guy took the opportunity to rub his hand against me. Maybe he thought nothing would happen because it was crowded. When I caught his hand, I was surprised to see this old man. He appeared embarrassed because I had caught him red-handed. Tiwari from the beginning has denied the accusation.

Social media is divided in their opinion, while people are supporting Ankit Tiwari's father, few are speaking for the woman, who allegedly has been sexually assaulted. #ShameonKambli is also being used on social media to publicly shame the former cricketer, for creating a scene out of nothing, and how ashamed they are even to say that they are a Vinod Kambli fan.

Ankit Tiwari has also shared the CCTV footage of the incident and has expressed his grief that such an event took place. He said, "Sad & Deeply hurt by unfortunate incident tht happd ystrday wid my father and bro @ankur_music Don’t want to Blame anyone. To prevent False Rumours from Spreading further. Sharing actual CCTV Footage asap & want the world to See it, Decide & Express watever they feel is Correct." (sic)

Watch the video of the incident.

Below are few reactions of people over the incident on social media

In the CCTV video published by ANI, it can be seen that Ankit Tiwari's father was entering the gaming zone along with his granddaughter. He is not seen in any way trying to molest and rub his hands off on Andrea Hewitt. However, even if the video footage gives us a reason to doubt on the man's intention, we feel Andrea shouldn't have assaulted the elder citizen in the first place, it could have been better if she had tried to sort this thing by having a word, rather than punching him. Also Vinod Kambli as seen in the video, appears to be least bothered, and has not even turned once when this entire argument was taking place, so on what basis is he supporting his wife now?

It clearly appears that Andrea might have not thought the incident to be blown up so much, she was not aware that the man whom she was hitting to be a father of a renowned personality, who has immense following.

We admit, there is an increase in crime rate against women, but then is it okay to play the victim card always and judge every other man on earth? It is a mall, a crowded place, where yes many do take advantage to molest women, while there are few, who have no such intentions on their mind.
