Nirmal Singh’s son Gurpreet Singh claimed, “My father who is an Akali Dal worker had gone to a village. Some Congress workers followed him, so he went to my uncles’ house to escape. But they waited for my father to come out. When he came out, they attacked him with sickles and rods. My father has sustained injuries on his head, shoulder and leg.”

Nirmal has been admitted to a hospital for treatment.

Police version on the incident is awaited.

Badal, a two-time MP from Bathinda is pitted against Congress’ Raja Warring, AAP’s Baljinder Kaur and Punjab Democratic Alliance’s Sukhpal Singh Khaira.
