Jasbir Singh of Khussopur village had returned from Delhi protests a fortnight ago and participated in a dharna staged outside the residence of Rajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik here.

Bhindi Saida police station SHO Ajaypal Singh said Jasbir had been put on a ventilator and his condition was critical. Jasbir’s family claimed he was upset at the Centre’s stance on the farm laws, he said. Meanwhile, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee today cremated a farmer, Ratan Singh Kotli, at his native Kotali Dhole Sah village near Kathunangal here. — TNS
