Overview
- Preet Singh, a contestant from MTV’s dating show Splitsvilla 16, posted on Instagram on Monday that she was assaulted at a Mumbai club and showed video of her swollen eyes and bruised face.
- She wrote that a woman began shouting at her and a friend, then the woman’s male companion hit them, leaving her with a broken tooth before bystanders intervened.
- Singh said she later learned the woman was an influencer, though she did not identify anyone involved in the confrontation.
- Fellow Splitsvilla contestants expressed support, with Zalak Gohil, who was reportedly present, calling the night a nightmare, while public figures urged Singh to file a police complaint.
- News outlets report no police complaint, official statement, or independent confirmation so far, and the posts have fueled online debate about women’s safety in a city many consider relatively safe.
