Former Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal was attacked in Nanded, Maharashtra on Thursday. The assailant was identified as Jaspal Singh, a sevadar (volunteer) at the gurdwara who had become a Nihang a few years ago. Singh, originally from Pune, holds B.Com and LLB degrees. The attacker became agitated and attacked Badal with a sharp-edged weapon.
Moments before police arrived, Singh's turban had come off, but people at the scene helped him re-tie it before he was taken away by the police. Badal was injured on his hand and was admitted to a private hospital for treatment. Santosh Kendre, a police personnel part of Badal's security detail, was also injured during the attack.
The motive behind the attack is under investigation, with Singh allegedly stating that he held Badal responsible for the drug menace in Punjab. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a probe into the incident.
