"The incident happened in the chamber of Sanjay Gaikwad, posted with water supply department, at about 11.30 AM yesterday. Around 20 women barged in his cabin, snatched away documents form his hand, tore his cloths and smeared his face with black paint," said Hill Line police sub-inspector SM Pawar.
The women were apparently angry with erratic water supply to their locality.
In the commotion, Gaikwad fell unconscious and was admitted to a local hospital.
An offence has been registered under various sections of IPC against the women.
