On Sunday evening, Jagjit, along with his aide Rahul Kapoor, Suresh and Hari Om, came to their house and took his father along with them stating that they will come back in a few minutes.
Yogesh said that when they did not return till late at night, he made a call to his father, but his mobile phone was switched off. When he made a call to Jagjit, he stated that they had dropped his father near Samrala Chowk.
“At night, my brother Ishant Singla received a call from a police personnel from Doraha, who informed that a group of people dropped their father in Rajwant Hospital in Doraha and he is critical. The police also said that they are shifting their father to a private hospital in Ludhiana,” said Yogesh.
