Speaking to India Today, Sudhir Kumar Singh said that action is being taken against the accused under the Gangster Act and National Security Act (NSA). He said that five workers, including office in-charge Shivam, were injured in an attack by antisocial elements on the Seva Bharati office in Moti Kunj last night, following which a case was registered against two known and 40-50 unidentified assailants.
