As per reports, the incident took place late at night on March 8 amid Holi celebrations. The victims were returning home to their apartment in Jorhat having celebrated Holi outside when they found the culprits – three men and a woman—were drinking at their gate drinking alcohol.

Upon finding the youths blocking their entrance to the apartment, the husband honked at them, which reportedly enraged the intoxicated youths.

The husband said, “The drunken woman is a resident of the apartment, while the men were outsiders. They were sitting in the middle of the road in front of the apartment and drinking when we arrived in our car. As we could not pass, I had to honk at them after which they stopped our car and started verbally abusing us. The group then went on to assault us and drag my wife by her hair. She is four months pregnant. They even struck her on her stomach. We are a family of four and we all were physically assaulted.”
