The incident came to light after the couple reported that they were beaten up by students of MNDP Boys Hostel. He also accused the boys of being drunk when they attacked the woman and her husband.
He also said that the boys were initially attacking a man and when the woman intervened to stop them, they along with her husband started beating her.
