MUMBAI: Kannada movie actress Samyuktha Hegde alleged moral policing and harassment by Congress leader Kavitha Reddy when she was out with her friends at Agara lake in the city.

"We were abused and ridiculed by Kavitha Reddy at Agara Lake. There are witnesses and more video evidence, I request you to look into this. #this is wrong," tweeted Hegde tagging Bengaluru Police Commissioner and the city police official's Twitter account.

She shared a 11-second video clipping of the incident which occurred on Friday evening in which at least four women can be identified while two boys are also seen at a distance.

Following a girl saying something in Kannada, Reddy was seen trying to shoot a video on her black Apple Iphone.

"These are the girls who are acting too smart," said Reddy while trying to shoot the video as another unidentified girl from Hegde's group could be heard saying here is a lady who abuses young people.

Immediately after this, Reddy charged at one of the girls as if to hit her with her right hand but stopped short as the girl managed to dodge her amid cries of shock and outrage from Hegde and others as the video ends there.

"The future of our country reflects on what we do today," Hegde added.

Hegde was seen wearing a sports bra and tights. Her friend was seen wearing a grey t-shirt and body hugging pants while Reddy was in slippers, t-shirt and trousers.

Agara lake comes ahead of Koramangla and is adjacent to HSR Layout, a well-known posh locality in this tech hub.

Identifying herself as an All India Congress Committee (AICC) member, Karnataka Congress spokesperson, mountaineer, lake activist, Reddy lashed out at the film actress on social media later.

"I got called bloody bitch by some psycho B-grade celebrity and public stripper Samyuktha Hegde for standing up for guards who were abused by her, the day starts and ends," tweeted Reddy about the incident.

The Congress leader alleged that Hegde abused a park guard.
