Around a month after an assault on a farmer leader, protestors in Jagraon, Punjab, surrounded the SSP office demanding the arrest of the alleged attackers, accusing the police of inaction.
On Friday, a group of farmer organisations converged on the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) office in Jagraon, Punjab, and formed a human chain around the building. The protest was triggered by the continued freedom of all individuals accused of assaulting a prominent farmer leader about a month earlier.
The agitating farmers voiced their frustration that none of the alleged perpetrators have been taken into custody, alleging negligence on the part of the police. They demanded immediate action and a transparent investigation into the attack.
Police officials present at the scene reported that the demonstration remained peaceful, with no reports of violence or damage to property. Authorities said they were reviewing the case and would update the public on any forthcoming arrests.
The incident underscores growing tensions between agricultural communities and law‑enforcement agencies in Punjab, especially when perceived delays in justice fuel public dissent.
