A woman worker of the Congress party in UP's Deoria was beaten up by her colleagues after she opposed the name of Mukund Bhaskar Mani Tripathi as party candidate for Deoria bypoll. The party has announced Tripathi's name, but the woman party worker Tara Yadav has claimed that he is accused in a rape case, so he shouldn't become the nominee. This led to a brawl and the woman was beaten up. The incident was recorded on camera by several workers who were present in the meeting. Union minister Hardeep Puri tweeted the video and asked the National Commission for Women to take action. The NCW has assured that it will look into the matter.
