Former MLA and BJP district president Sarup Chand Singla and his son were attacked by an armed mob in Ward No. 2 as voting for the Municipal Corporation elections concluded on Tuesday evening.
Singla’s gunman and several supporters were injured in the attack
The attack took place as Singla and his entourage were reportedly passing through the area after polling concluded.
It is alleged that the confrontation quickly escalated into violence, resulting in injuries to around six people, including Singla’s security gunman and several of his close associates.
Singla has accused the local Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate and their supporters of orchestrating and carrying out the attack.
The assault left Singla’s official gunman and his political aides with multiple physical injuries.
All the injured individuals were rushed to the Government Civil Hospital in Bathinda, where they are currently undergoing medical treatment.
Police have to record the statement of Singla for further action in this incident.
