New Delhi: The police crackdown on Baba Ramdev and his supporters led to many of them being injured. The police action not only destroyed property at the Ramlila grounds, but also left many Ramdev supporters injured. One of the seriously injured is 50-year-old Gurgaon resident Rajbala, who was attending Ramdev agitation. She was allegedly hit on the neck, back and leg during Saturday night's swoop.

She has been admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Delhi's GB Pant Hospital where her condition is said to be critical.

Her family claims that the police brutality has left Rajbala, who is on ventilator right now, paralysed in both arms and legs. The doctors attending to her say that she could be paralysed for life.

It's been a traumatic time for her family, who confirm that Rajbala underwent a cervical joint replacement surgery on Sunday. Her family said that they had asked her to leave the fast site around midnight but she refused because she wanted to supported Ramdev in his 'anshan' and that she was injured because of police lathicharge.

However, how she was injured cannot confirmed as there are no eye witnesses.
