The police claim that injuries were caused during stone-pelting by the farmers, but the protesters claim that one of the farmers was injured in a lathi-charge by the police
Two persons, including an elderly farmer, were injured in a clash between agitating farmers and the police during Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s visit to Rohtak on Saturday. The police, however, maintained that injuries were caused during stone-pelting by the farmers and no force was used. The farmers were protesting against the Chief Minister’s visit as part of their boycott of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Jannayak Janta Party leaders in the State in view of the ongoing agitation against the three farm laws. Rahul Sharma, Superintendent of Police, Rohtak, told The Hindu that an elderly farmer and a policeman were injured during stone-pelting by the farmers protesting against the Chief Minister’s visit. The injured farmer was provided medical aid, he added.More Related News
