Alleged assault by M Ravi and three other men

Chong-Aruldoss, 54, was allegedly confronted by Ravi and "three big-sized thugs" when she was walking to her office at Eugene Thuraisingam LLP at about 11am.

While one of his companions was allegedly recording the incident on a mobile phone, Ravi proceeded to push her to the ground and throw her belongings at her and all over the corridor.

Chong Aruldoss also said he claimed that she touched him first.

After the incident, a staff member from the law firm called the police.
