In a high voltage drama, Bhoomata Ranragini Brigade leader Trupti Desai on Wednesday night got engaged in a scuffle inside the famous Mahalaxmi temple here.

Desai, however, managed to get darshan of goddess Mahalaxmi by entering into sanctum sanctorum of the temple despite defying the "dress code" prescribed by police and priests.Notwithstanding the "advice" given by the police to wear sari inside 'garbh griha' of the temple, the woman activist entered the inner sanctum in salwar kameez though some priests and devotees tried to block her way.


She and her Bhoomata Ranragini Brigade activists were, however, roughed up.


Desai was later admitted to a hospital, where her condition is said to be fine.


Talking to news agency ANI today, Desai alleged that people pulled their hair, tore her clothes, and abused them. "I think the attackers planned to kill me," alleged Desai.


The attackers said "don`t let Trupti Desai get out alive". The doctor said I could've got a paralysis attack," added Desai. She also said that even the priest was abusing them.
