While the child was not hurt in the incident, the woman Komal Saini sustained injuries and is undergoing treatment in a hospital, they said.
Komal, a native of Sonepat, in her police complaint has accused her husband Tejeshwar Saini and her in-laws of attempting to murder her. She married Tejeshwar, a resident of Sector-12A, in 2013 and they have two children.

"Soon after, they started beating me and when I tried to call the police, they snatched my mobile from my hand. They also tried to hit me on my head with a sharp weapon but it hit my leg. Later, they pushed me along with my four-year-old son from the first floor," Komal said in her complaint.
Injured, Komal took cover of a car and hid in the bushes with her son, Komal said.
"My in-laws came down to see me and returned after not finding me. I reached my aunt's house in Rajeev Nagar with the help of an auto driver," she said.
