Haryana Police said that after registering cases under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, nine BKU (Chadhuni) leaders were detained and subsequently arrested. Shahbad’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Randhir Singh said that he has been sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
The news of the arrest of farmer leader Gurmam Chadhuni ji has disappointed me a lot.
Brij Bhushan should have been arrested, but he was arrested who was demanding MSP for his crop.
The oppressor is roaming free, but the turbans of our farmers are being trampled under the boots of the police.
