Mumbai, Sep 28: Video of a mentally-challenged girl purportedly being beaten-up by a lady police official at a Ganesh pandal here has gone viral, prompting police to initiate a probe.

The alleged incident took place on Friday when the girl, identified as Nandini Goswami, had visited the 'Lalbaughcha Raja' pandal along with her kin, DCP (Detection 1) M Dahikar said.
