She said that he husband was also beaten up and suffered injuries to his nose and hand.
“We have no idea why they beat us. They were simply shouting to allow the car of MLA Stephen to go first. The rear side of my car has also been damaged. My gold chain also got damaged in the attack,” said the husband.
Meanwhile, MLA Stephen denied harassing the pregnant woman and his family.
“I do not know what happened outside. I was attending the reception. We have no knowledge who did this,” the MLA said.
