Kanaka Durga, one of the two women who entered Sabarimala Temple on January 1 triggering violent protests across the State by Sangh Parivar activists, was attacked by her mother-in-law when she reached home at Perinthalmanna on Tuesday morning.
Ms. Durga alleged that she was hit on her head with a wooden reaper as she stepped into her house for the first time after her Sabarimala entry. A few policemen who were on duty in front of her house rushed her to the Government Taluk Hospital, Perinthalmanna. Sub-Inspector P.S. Manjitlal said a case was registered against Ms. Durga’s mother-in-law. He said the injury was not serious.
Alleging that Ms. Durga injured her by pushing her violently, the mother-in-law too has sought medical treatment. Ms. Durga, a government employee, reached her house apparently with the intention of rejoining duty on Tuesday. Her mother-in-law reportedly refused her entry into the house, leading to a verbal duel between them. Police said the mother-in-law hit her on the head with the reaper during the altercation.
