Dr Shukla said that when Sarangi was brought to the hospital, he was bleeding profusely.

In response to a question whether they would be discharged, he said, “They are under observation. Senior doctors who are treating them will take the further decision.”
On CT scan and MRI reports, Shukla said, “The reports have come. They are normal. Rest of the reports are fine so far.”

In a post on X, Reddy wrote, “Visited RML Hospital in New Delhi today to check on MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, who were injured during the violent attack by Rahul Gandhi in the Parliament precincts yesterday. Enquired about their health conditions and spoke to the doctors attending to them. These attacks by Congress are deeply disturbing and concerning and reflect their frustration and desperation.”
