Agartala, August 8: A lady lawyer from Delhi, who works in the field of cruelty to animals, has filed a complaint to the police that she was attacked by a mob in Tripura's Sipahijala district after she reported a case in which cattle were transported on overloaded trucks in the state.
The lawyer, Shreya Aggarwal, alleged that her vehicle was vandalised in front of policemen near Routhkhala, a village close to the Indo-Bangladesh border, by the mob on Saturday and she managed to flee from the area. She had reported to the police that she found two vehicles overloaded with cattle and led the law enforcers to the spot, following which the incident occurred, Agarwal said on Sunday.
