    Hard to describe this visuals, the accused should've shown a little presence of mind he should've avoided physical touch that's not the way to deal any problems with getting into violence especially when females on receiving end, would've dealt with dignity taken help of police or any 3rd person to resolve the dispute amicably, lesson to learn never get into violence not worth it, always be gentle with females sometimes you have to be responsible for actions where nothing is hidden money can be earned buy not reputation it takes ages to built guys please don't get me wrong I am not trying to be judgemental all I am trying to say is for every problem there is soulution we have to control on our emotions. Jai Hind.

    I dont agree with those who said Dawood is a respectable businessman and he is framed blah blah...All said and done I have only question..Why did he manhandle her ?I had absolutely no issues if he scuffled with a man for whatever reason but if the other party is a woman, he would also had women involved from his side to deal with the saloon lady..or any female relative who could deal with her...Kai padre wa excuse la ijji..You cannot touch a woman..watever the reason is...

    It would seem there was a business dispute between the two and it took this ugly turn on the day. It does not matter if the money was legitimately due to the accused. He had no right to wrestle with the lady in her premises. The CCTV grab clearly shows he used force on her to take away whatever he wanted. In business two parties getting involved should be prepared for disputes which if they arise has to be resolved in a civil manner and not by thuggery. His life was not at risk so he had no justification for his behaviour of getting physical. At best he can reason it was an action in a fit of rage, yet there can be no justification and so now he has to pay for it! As for sections of criminal law... molestation, outraging modesty of woman, assault.. that will tested in trial.

    In Canada’s such crimes very very rare and police is not harassing the criminals but treating them with due respects and legal routes . If criminals from ethnic minority then they are treated with compassion and understanding also. If mr Dawood ji is returning at least part of the money then this matter possible to solve amicably instead fascism is being done to him. This would not happen in Canada , even some minority’s who is going to aleppo for combat training are allowed to return and live productive life’s in liberal canadaian society but country like Australia, US and UK are not accepting such people back . Intolerance is really on the rise in India and we must introspect . When I was in Mangaluru things were not like this, feeels bad to see .

    TTT Thomas Cananda ,we need not compare India and other educated countries.Our India is become simply still worst than before few years.No respecting women,only goondagiry,No wonder they call us third world country in every way . Feel bad seeing these things.Only our Police could act strict against these people it would be bit better.Our Police too are not the best.Recieve money and lat the criminell out,or assault men and women too when they are in their hand.Usually Police shouldnt touch ,or assault even a criminal person .Thats against a persons right.In our country no order no proper system.Our politicians have no order first of all.They act only to protect them selves .Bribes are a big problem in India .That makes the people to become criminals.May be this woman was supposed to pay some bribe ?when not paid then they become wild.

    Woman's safety is main concern in Mangalore, earlier it was VHP goons attacking innocent girls drinking in pubs and creating ruckus , this climate of fear has been generated by Hindutwa government and some people feel brave to use might to steal what is not theirs. Having said that, one must also think why Dawood took such drastic steps, was he a headmaster's son who was forced to molest and steal because of babri masjid demolition or because of how India smashed Pakistan in world cups or more recently balakot strikes. These underlying conditions should be investigated as to why Dawood chose to molest and steal instead of working in a puncture repair shop / mobile recharge conning businesses. Larger societal problems if ignored by fascist government usually result in such cases where innocent people like Dawood get framed.

    Those of you who say both women and men are equal then they should not be crying here by calling it shame, will you do this to your women etc. etc kind of sympathy or emotional words towards a female ? We have never said both men and female are equal in all aspect, equality definitely differs based on role, but those who say they are fully equal, then they should not cry with a sympathy or emotional words here towards female gender.... So based on your thinking, it is okay for someone to do the same for a man but not for a female..... This is hypocrisy... I am not supporting such act, but those who are always in one foot in trying to shame entire community especially Muslims, for them they should realize that No man and women of any faith on earth are saint here..... Let them look at their own back yard that how they treat their women at home....

    Ahmed, Bangalore, this is nothing to do with him being a Muslim or any other religion. This is something to do with his manhood, thinking and assuming that he could do anything ( because he was a Man, rich, wealthy, influential etc) and get away with it. Till yesterday, he was painted as a Innocent guy because there was no proof, thank God, the CCTV captured at-least this footage and showed us who actually Abdul Dawood is. I don't know if the lady in the Salon was molested as the CCTV hasn't captured it but who knows what the guy must have done before entering the counter. He is clearly at fault for what he did, end of conversation !

    Assault and robbery is clear in the footage. Even if there was any dispute about the money, he should have gone to the police or tried peaceful method to solve the issue. Intentional touching of a woman without her consent amounts to molestation, the accused should have thought about it before touching her.

    @Sri... Again you are wrong with your molestation definition.... As per IPC under Section 294, any indecent or obscene act or singing, reciting, pronouncing of the lewd song done by the offender that causes 'annoyance' of others in public which cause mental nuisance will be considered molestation. As per video, there is no intention of sexual approach or insulting the modesty of a women....

If Dawood is owner of the Saloon, why lady is inside the cash counter? Is she trying to steal something from the Saloon and Dawood is trying to get it back?? Or is that lady is the owner of Saloon and Dawood came to saloon to rob the things from there?? I am Not able conclude from this half video. Some one please help me understand.

    Thanks for clearing my doubt. This is inappropriate touching. Ladies will not feel okay when a guy touches them, whatever the reason it maybe. But I dont think he had any sexual intention here. His aim was to snatch that thing from her. Snatching anything from anyone without his/her permission is robbery.

I say, who ever even touches a woman in a wrong way, be it harassment, molestation, assault etc is meant to be behind bars. Any kind of assault against women be it domestic violence, sexual harassment, molestation shouldn't be tolerated. When we show support to these goons ,we are in a way encouraging such men and their appalling behavior towards women. Its time all Women rally up and come together and condemn this behavior.

    This is not an assault..... The word assault has a different meaning... He didn't even raise his hand to her to call it an assault.... The matter is not of 14000 Rs, but surely looks like for bigger amount... Whatever the amount she had he might have taken it.... As you said, there would have been a better approach for getting money if one has lend, or given loan etc.... But how??? through police? How much one need to pay to police to get the amount back if any? Through court? How many years one need to spend and how much money one need to spend on lawyers to get the amount back if any? Through Rowdism ? Again illegal right? And how much one need to pay to goons? So which option is left if one need to get the money back if any???? I am not supporting such acts, but wanna know how can one get the money back from the lady if given as loan ????

The lady assaulted in this pic is the salon owner and that Abdul guy had the guts to do that to a lady. If he was man enough, he would have not attacked her this way. Shame on you Abdul Dawood. Hope you realize what you have done and regret your actions . I ashamed that people are still commenting in support of this Abdul guy.

    I was reading every ones comments since last few days, and his friends and family were claiming that Abdul Dawood was innocent and he has mother, wife, sister and kid and also a decent business man . After watching this video …. I don't think so he is a family person and a decent business man. Very sad to see the video the goon was standing next to her , man handling her and grabbing the purse. He was literally trying to touch/hugg her body. Thank God her husband must have been reached on time to help her and approached the police to save her wife's life. Also I heard about the saloons owner is a very rich business man, he must have used his power and money to put this goon/ molestrator behind the bar. Police has done a excellent job to save her.
