No communication received on quashing of complaints, says farmers’ lawyer
Over a month after farmer leaders were promised quashing of police complaints on the violence that erupted in the national capital on Republic Day last year, no update has been received on that front, said a lawyer representing the farmers.
Speaking to The Hindu, advocate Jasdeep Dhillon said those who were either arrested at that time or had received notices to join the investigation keep calling him for help. “About 200 protesters were arrested at that time and about 200 received notices. All arrested persons are now out on bail but they want to know the status of the cases. We have heard nothing from either the government or the police about what’s happening with the FIRs,” he said, adding that the Haryana government had initiated a move to withdraw the cases and sent letters to all District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police in this regard.
A senior officer from the Crime Branch said they have not yet received any communication from the government regarding the withdrawal of prosecution.
