On return from Malout, both BJP leaders were received at the hospital by Sita Ram Sharma, former district president of Bharatiya Janata Party.

The duo was examined by Senior Medical Officer Dr Gagandeep Singh and Dr Kavita who recorded the injuries that Narang and Chhabra suffered during the farmers’ protest.

Narang was feeling uneasy due to the incident, party sources said.  

Farmers had long back staged dharna outside Narang’s Gaushala Road residence to protest the contentious farm laws last year; the same was ended after persuasion when the MLA assured them he would write to the party high command about farmers’ demands.

Later he was gheraoed at Arorvansh Bhawan opposite Nehru Park during the campaign for Municipal Corporation elections.
