The incident came to light after the couple reported that they were beaten up by students of the MNDP Boys’ Hostel. They also accused the boys of being drunk when they attacked the woman and her husband. They also mentioned that the boys were initially attacking a man, and when the woman stepped in between them to stop them, they started beating her up along with her husband. A police team reportedly arrived at the location soon after the incident was reported and took the woman for a medical examination.
