Abohar MLA Sunil Jakhar today led a massive protest to condemn police “highhandedness” towards peaceful protesters who were demanding action yesterday against the persons responsible for abetting the suicide of a Dalit farmer of Pattibillah village.
Jakhar’s secretary Sanjeev Trika and at least two others — who were leading the protest – were allegedly thrashed and dragged by the police yesterday.
People assembled at the old grain market office and marched through the main roads, raising slogans against the Punjab Police and the state government. — OC
