A woman and her 18-year-old daughter were brutally assaulted by their neighbours following a dispute over water in Navi Mumbai's Panvel area, police confirmed on Saturday. In a shocking incident that also involved public humiliation, the accused allegedly stripped the teenage girl during the altercation. The incident took place on Thursday, and while eight individuals have been booked for the attack, no arrests have been made yet, according to an official.

As per PTI reports, the conflict arose when the accused suspected the mother-daughter duo of lodging a complaint regarding water wastage in the locality in the Nhava Sheva area. Enraged, the neighbours reportedly resorted to violence, targeting the two women in a public setting.
