New Delhi:
Popular small screen’s actor Sumeet Raghavan’s wife Chinmayee Surve had to come across a gross incident on Monday while she was out for some work in Mumbai’s Vile Parle. Chinmayee is a popular name in the Marathi film circuit and also seen on ‘Laagi Tujhse Lagan’.
A man sitting in a white BMW allegedly masturbated in front of Chinmayee and before she could react, he fled the spot. The incident comes into light days after a Delhi University student alleged that a middle age man did the same act on a crowded bus.
Taken aback by the incident, Sumeet took to social media to address the issue and ask Mumbai Police to act upon it. He shared the details and mentioned that his wife could note down only the last four digits of the vehicle.
