The woman was allegedly attacked on Tuesday as she tried to protect her nephew who was being beaten up by the group of five led by panchayat chief Palash Kumar Biswas for complaining against loud kirtan - a form of devotional music - being played on the public address system at a time when large number of students were busy studying for their secondary examination.
