The authorities did not confirm the reason behind the woman’s action . However, according to local media reports, the woman was angry that no one had informed her about the workers and when she saw them painting outside, she was agitated. She did not see the announcement made by the condo’s management also.
If the charges levied on the woman are proved, she can face around 20 years of imprisonment.
