Silence and fear prevailed at the Singhu border today after a man was brutally lynched and his mutilated body was found hanging on the police barricade near the main stage of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM).

The SKM and protesters condemned the incident and claimed that there could be a conspiracy behind the incident. Farmers at the protest site were not very forthcoming over the incident and only said that they had been staying there for their genuine demand of repealing of the three agriculture laws and legal guarantee of the minimum support price (MSP) for their produce.

Ravneet Singh, a resident of Moga, said they heard about the incident which happened in the wee hours, as they were sleeping in their tents at that time. It was very unfortunate and unthinkable, he said. Yogender Yadav, convener, Jai Kisan Andolan, said the gruesome killing was intolerable and unfortunate.
