In his complaint lodged with the Superintendent of Police, Prakash accused BJP leader Kuldeep Bishnoi’s supporters of carrying out the attack and demanded an action against them.

BJP's Bhavya Bishnoi on Sunday won the Adampur assembly segment defeating Prakash by a margin of 15,740 votes. Bhavya, 29, is the grandson of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal.

The by-election was necessitated after Kuldeep Bishnoi, Bhavya’s father, left Congress for BJP.

Bhavya polled 67,492 votes, while Prakash secured 51,752 votes.
