Police said the confrontation continued when officers approached the house to investigate. The nieces, Anuradha and Radha, allegedly caught hold of lady constable Sukhjit and tore her uniform and name badge, according to the complaint.
The dispute escalated when his cousins allegedly started assaulting the couple. The accused allegedly surrounded him again when his mother, Ramwati, reached the spot and assaulted her with slippers. Avdesh managed to get away and called emergency helpline, 112.
