Three masked men hit a woman's car on Friday with bats and swords and injured her when she was on her way to her workplace at a drug de-addiction centre here in a local civil hospital.
The incident occurred on Kapurthala-Jalandhar National highway near PUDA colony, police said.
The woman, identified as Shaminder Kaur, told media at the civil hospital here that she was driving from Jalandhar along with her colleague to attend duty at the drug de-addiction centre.
