Speaker Ram Niwas Goel immediately ordered the arrest of the two men, who tried to flee but were caught by police and a few Aam Aadmi Party legislators. Their identities were not known.

AAP rebel Kapil Mishra and BJP lawmaker Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that they saw some lawmakers beat both men in the MLA lounge. One photojournalist was injured while clicking photos of the incident.
