The district panchayat president said she approached the police to register a complaint and alleged that she was made to sit at the police station for four hours and even then her complaint was not registered.

According to Rai both Ramesh Khangar and Sonu Yadav are associates of Niwari MLA Anil Jain.

Police have booked eight people on the basis of countercomplaints from the two groups.
