Actor continues to demand justice after alleged assault in December 2025
For the uninitiated, December 2025 left Anuj with a traumatic experience. On December 14, the ‘Chhanchhan’ actor revealed that he was allegedly assaulted. It was by a neighbour in his society in Goregaon, Mumbai. The incident began over a dispute regarding parking. Anuj said that the attacker hit him with a rod and also tried to hit his dog.
Days later, the actor shared disturbing images of his injuries on social media. Along with the photos, he wrote, “The injuries I sustained on the night of the assault. Apart from that, the mental trauma have gone through every night thinking how unsafe is Mumbai today.”
He further expressed his frustration, adding, “The culprit is roaming around scott-free. ABSOLUTELY DISHEARTENED by how the law of the land functions. This is a MIGHTY FAILURE of our system.”
Anuj has already filed an FIR and has also provided evidence. Despite this, he has repeatedly mentioned that no one has been arrested yet. In another Instagram story, he questioned the system, writing, “ARE WE EVEN SAFE IN MUMBAI? NO ARREST TILL DATE. DAY 17 OF ASSAULT CASE.”
It has been over 18 days since the incident. The actor continues to remind everyone that justice has not yet been served.
Anuj also shared a video from the night of December 14. The video shows the alleged attacker behaving aggressively and using offensive language. Anuj wrote, “I am posting this evidence before this person tries to do any damage to me or my property. He tried hitting my dog and me with a rod for notifying in the society group regarding his car, which was parked at the wrong place in the society parking. Harmony mall residency, Goregaon w This person is from A wing flat 602. kindly share with ppl who can take action. I am bleeding from my head.”
