MHA: No data on hurt to farmers during protests

New Delhi, December 1

Evading a direct reply on farmers’ deaths during protests, the MHA today claimed the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) did not report cases of “hurt to farmers due to attack on farmers’ protests” separately.

Responding to a question by Congress’ KC Venugopal, seeking to know (state-wise) the number of farmers who were injured and who had died during the protests, the MoS for Home said the NCRB had reported 5,78,641 cases of hurt, “but did not report cases of hurt to farmers due to attack on farmers’ protests separately.” — TNS
