1st woman to enter Sabarimala beaten by mother-in-law; hospitalised
Kanaka Durga, one of the two women who entered Kerala's Sabarimala and became the first to defy the temple's ban on women of menstrual age, was beaten up by her mother-in-law upon her return home. She sustained head injury and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. "Her mother-in-law...was not in favour of Kanaka Durga entering Sabarimala," her friend said.
