A middle-aged woman was allegedly assaulted by members of a Durga Puja organising committee in Sealdah area of the city after she objected that its puja marquee had blocked the entrance to her restaurant.
The restaurant owner had raised her voice that the decision of the puja committee to set up the pandal in front of her eatery and many other shops would affect their businesses during Durga Puja.
However, the organisers denied the allegation saying, "We had an argument over the issue on Tuesday but she was not assaulted."
