Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal was discharged from a hospital in Nanded on Friday and flew to Delhi after being attacked inside a gurdwara a day earlier. Rediff reports that he underwent 90-minute surgery to repair a tendon injury and his ulnar artery nerve, while Hindustan Times says he received two to three stitches on his right hand. Badal was stable and out of danger. Police arrested 63-year-old gurdwara sewadar Jaspal Singh, who has been booked for attempt to murder under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A Nanded court remanded him to police custody until August 24.
