Police said no complaint has been filed yet in this connection, but the local edition of a leading English daily published a series of photographs on the incident.
“No such complaint has been registered with us. We had adequate security arrangements outside the hotel, where personnel from the State Reserve Police Force were posted and closed circuit cameras installed,” Additional Commissioner of Police Archna Tyagi said.
The incident took place at around 0145 hrs(local time) on Tuesday when the women, along with their male friends, were heading towards Juhu beach from a hotel in the suburbs.
A mob of 70-80 men reportedly tore up the women’s clothes, molested and groped them while their male companions, overpowered by the crowd, watched helplessly.

Mumbai, January 2: Downplaying the shocking incident of two women in Juhu being molested by a mob of 70 people as a “minor issue”, Police Commissioner D N Jadhav on Wednesday accused the media of making “mountain out of molehill.”
“Such things can happen anywhere anytime. Here also where I am. Don’t make mountain out of molehill,” Yadav said responding to questions by the newsmen on the incident.
The two women were groped and molested by a mob of 70-80 people near a five-star hotel from where they were returning after the New Year celebrations early Tuesday.
“It (the molestation) is just an offence,” Yadav said while appearing to target the media at the same time when he asked “Why are you blowing it out of proportion?”
Stating that no one has come forward to file a complaint, he said the police was registering a case on its own.
“I can’t keep police behind every man,” the Commissioner said, adding that the police were investigating the case.

everyone knows Indian men are losers and are ugly as sin and if not for r a p e, they would never get s e x.
indian men are the biggest rapists in the world, just do a google for r a p e + india
India has more than 1 Billion population, you cannot conclude that all men are the same? and about looks you certainly lack proper knowledge about India.
At least we are not like your “redneck” cousins or the dog eating Chinese? of course we have bad elements within our society and corrupt people but all of us are not the same.
It is police protection and law that should be in force. Most of maharashtra police are busy collecting cha pani money while such things happen and when ask for their superrior they say
they have share in it. Lot of time they harres other state drivers and most of the NRI had this bad experience. Thanks to the news paper for publishing pictures and waking up law system in Mumbai Maharastra . What else .
