'Don't push...please don't hit me,' Tandon pleaded amid chaos

Witness account
Witness narrated the incident, and accused Tandon of assault
Later, a man named Mohammed—a resident of Bandra—detailed the entire ordeal on video.
He explained that his mother, sister, and niece were near Rizvi College when Tandon's driver "ran over" his mother.
"When they confronted, the driver assaulted my niece and even my mother. Later, Raveena too stepped out in an inebriated state, stepped out and hit my mother so severely that she suffered serious head injuries," he claimed.
Police response
Victims allege police inaction and demand justice
Mohammed further alleged that he and the victims waited at Khar police station for four hours without their complaint being taken.
"They asked us to get it settled out of the police station. But why should we settle scores with them? My mother has been assaulted and I demand justice," he expressed.
As of now, Tandon has not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
