The incident occurred on Sunday evening in Jodhara village under Dongargaon police station limits when Sahu, who represents Khujji assembly seat in the district, was attending a public function, according to police.
As per preliminary information, Sahu was on the stage when a man, who was allegedly drunk, attacked her with a knife, a senior police official said.
