In the attack, Asaram Daharia (80), the father of the former legislator was left critically injured and was admitted in a city hospital.
Asaram was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday.
According to Dr Shiv Daharia, the attack was not a loot attempt or any family dispute, but going by weapons found at the incident spot there was an attempt to divert the direction of the investigation.
