Indian presenter and model Gauahar Khan was left shocked after a member of the audience got up and slapped her live on air for wearing revealing clothes, while presenting the grand finale of singing competition Raw Star at Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai.
The offender Akil Malik, 24, was quoted as saying that "as a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short and revealing dress."
He was arrested and charged with molestation under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code.
Malik was able to break the security cordon made of 250 guards in the studio to confront Khan, when she was being escorted out of the venue.
According to Indian reports, Khan was left traumatized by the incident, but returned on set later to continue filming.
