Poojadevi Kanojia and her brother Anup (26) were arrested by the police on Monday night for an offence under section 353 (assault to deter public servant from discharge of duty) and other relevant provisions of the IPC, an official from Narpoli police station said.
According to the police, the duo arrived at the Narpoli police station and picked a quarrel with assistant police inspector Prashant Aware over the issue of a case registered against the accused woman based on a complaint lodged by her daughter.
