80-Year-Old Says Cops Beat Her, Wasn't Allowed To Meet Shivraj Chouhan

An 80-year-old woman has alleged that she had been beaten up by the Madhya Pradesh police last week, who had come to her house chasing protesters from a farmers' rally in at Phanda kalan village near Sehore on Friday. Her husband Shiv Narayan, who is nearly 100 years old, was beaten up too and her son and four grandsons have been illegally arrested, she said. When she went to meet the Chief Minister - who is on a "peace fast" at 40 km away in Bhopal's Gandhi Maidan - she was not allowed to see him by officials.
