He was hospitalised after being beaten up by the suspects. The police said one of the suspects had been identified as a resident of Patiala while the other four were yet to be identified.

The suspects have been booked under Sections 148, 149, 307, 323, 341 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 25/54/59 of the Arms Act.  

No arrest has been made so far. The incident took place on Sunday night in the city. The suspects had an altercation with Amarjeet Singh, a resident of Bharaj village in Bhawanigarh.
