RML Hospital MS said that both the MPs had head injuries, and there are blood pressure-related issues as well.
Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs who were admitted to Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital following injuries sustained during an altercation outside Parliament, have been hit on the head, said doctors adding that they were monitoring their health closely. Both of the MPs said the RML Hospital’s Medical Superintendent, Ajay Shukla, sustained head injuries; there are issues with the blood pressure.
“Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput had head injuries. Both have been given medication. Rajput ji’s blood pressure is still high. We are doing our best possible. Sarangi Ji is an older adult, and when there is pushing and shoving, the BP could shoot up. This could lead to a heart arrest or stroke. Sarangi ji had been a cardiac patient. We are evaluating the situation,” said RML MS Dr Ajay Shukla.
Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who visited the MPs at the hospital, confirmed that both Sarangi and Rajput would remain in hospital for two days.
