Two men, riding a motorcycle, attacked Lakshminarasimhaiah with a steel pipe and cricket stumps and sped away.

They had covered the number plate of the vehicle by pasting a paper on it, the police said. The injured RSS leader had been admitted to hospital. The Vidyaranyapura police, who have registered a case, said they were yet to ascertain the motive behind the attack.
