Chadha then addressed the media and announced the involvement of former Congress leader and two-time councilor Dinesh Dhal. Later, as Chadha was about to leave the press club, volunteers gathered again near the entrance, but Chadha made his way to the back door and got into his car. Volunteers recognized his vehicle and started beating him and ran after him, but his driver sped off and hurried away.
