One of those injured, Bhaskar Singh, the Nagar Pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), was admitted to the Ghatampur Community Health Centre (CHC). Later he has been referred to Kanpur.

In his complaint to the police, Bhaskar Singh stated the incident occurred while he was sitting with another party member, Yashraj Singh. It was then, Abrar Ahmed and Amir Hasan, Sameer Kanda, Shahabuddin of the area arrived there with 20 to 22 people and entered into an altercation with them, one report said.

When they protested, they were attacked with iron rods and sticks.

Circle Officer (CO) (Ghatampur) Sushil Kumar Dubey said that action is being taken following an FIR under relevant sections of IPC on the basis of complaint.
