Bigg Boss star Archana Gautam was assaulted and mistreated in front of the Congress office in New Delhi on September 29.
When the politician-turned-model Archana and her father visited the party office, the incident reportedly took place. She wanted to congratulate Priyanka Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on the passage of the Women’s Bill in Parliament, so she set up a meeting with them.
Social media users have been sharing a video of the event that depicts a group of individuals possibly Congress workers pushing and assaulting Archana and her father. While Archana begged for assistance and water, her father sank to the ground. According to reports, she was turned away from the party headquarters, which precipitated the altercation.
It is unknown why Archana was attacked, although it is assumed that some female party members criticized her for putting her acting profession ahead of her political obligations.
In an interaction with News 18, Archana said, “They did not allow us to enter the office and did not open the gates. We were told, ‘upar se aadesh hai aaki entry bandh hai (We have received orders that you are not allowed)’. I do not know the reason behind it”. She further added, “I escaped from there and somehow saved my life. I just went there to congratulate them. I thought I would be welcomed nicely because ever since Bigg Boss ended, I had not visited the party office. There were women too who misbehaved with me. I wonder how they did not feel mercy”. The politician-model also revealed “My father is injured. My driver was hit on his head. This is not right. I am still fine. I will hold a press conference soon and will reveal the truth”. Archana concluded as she pointed out, “I was banging on cars parked on the road, hoping I could hide in one of those. They pulled my hair. It was no less than an on-road rape. I begged them with folded hands. My father was so scared.”
Archana was last seen in Rohit Shetty’ s reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 13.
