Amritsar, March 18

A day after being granted bail, Ranjit Singh (22) from Kajampur village in Nawanshahr, one of the youths accused of attacking the police at the Singhu border on January 29, paid obeisance at the Golden Temple on Thursday.

Accompanied by DSGMC chief Manjit Singh Sirsa, he said he would continue to support the protesting farmers. Sirsa claimed that to prevent granting bail to Ranjit, several sections, not relevant to his case, were added in the complaint filed against him. He was granted bail in the second attempt. He said the DSGMC would put in efforts to secure release of all those who were held during the farmers’ protest and continue to support agitating farmers. Video grabs of Ranjit being beaten up with lathis had gone viral on the Internet. His family has denied the charges of Ranjit attacking the police.
