New Delhi: Thirty-three-year-old Congress MLA from Barak Valley (Assam) Rumi Nath was on Friday night thrashed by a hundred-strong mob at a Karimganj hotel. Rumi has invited the wrath of various groups for allegedly leaving her first husband and 2-year-old daughter and eloping and marrying her Facebook friend, 28-year-old Zakir Hussain.

Rumi had gone to meet her father on Friday when the incident happened.

What is even worse is that there has been no police action in the case almost 12 hours since the mob attack on the woman and her second husband. Rumi's bodyguards too were beaten up by the angry crowd.
