"The person who was dead on arrival had a bullet injury on his head , but more details such as size of the bullet , canonly be confirmed after postmortem," according to a physician.

“Three patients have come to us from Khanauri. One of them was dead on arrival, the other two are stable and seem to have sustained bullet injuries… but it can’t be confirmed,” said Dr Rekhi, the Senior Medical Officer of Patiala’s Rajendra Hospital.

Chandigarh: At the Khanauri border in Haryana, where protesting farmers battled with the police this evening, a farmer has died. The Haryana police have refuted the farmers’ group AIKS (All-India Kisan Sabha) allegations that he passed away during the police operation. The farmers will still hold their sit-in protest; however, they have called off their two-day protest march to Delhi.
Shubh Karan Singh was transported to a hospital in Patiala, and a medical professional there stated that he had been shot. An autopsy is planned.

According to an AIKS statement, Shubh Karan Singh’s death “is a direct result of police action.” “Despite its claims to be ‘farmer-friendly,’ the Modi regime’s ruthlessness is exposed by this slaughter. The statement said, “The Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government in Haryana is conducting warlike operations and treating protesting farmers who are marching towards Delhi like enemy soldiers.”

The farmers said that in an attempt to stop them from breaking over the barriers at the border, the Haryana Police had shot tear gas shells at them. Following their rejection of a government plan yesterday, the farmer leaders carried on with their march. It was the fourth attempt to end the impasse through negotiations.

All deaths have been denied by the Haryana Police. “According to the information received so far, no farmer has died today…,” stated a post from the police handle on X, formerly known as Twitter. This is only conjecture. There are reports of one protestor who is receiving treatment at the Data Singh-Khanori border and two police officers who were hurt there. Bhagwant Mann, the chief minister of Punjab, announced the death. “As soon as I came to know and saw the video, I got goosebumps, I felt very sad,” he told reporters, describing how he was acting as the interlocuter. Following the demise, two agribusiness organizations released incensed declarations, accusing the Central government and the state police.

Samyukt Kisan Morcha, or SKM, released a statement that stated, “The Prime Minister and the Executive that failed to implement the agreement with SKM signed on 9th December 2021 are solely responsible for the present crisis and the causality.” The 23-year-old Shubh Karan Singh lived in Bathinda. Leader of the farmers, Kaka Singh Kotra, said that he was the son of Charanjit Singh, who lived in the Bathinda district’s hamlet Valo. The Rajendra Hospital has been the home of his body.

Mr. Mann stated that the young farmer possessed two acres. His grandma reared him when his mother passed away too soon. There were two sisters for him. How come he had to go there? Bhagwant Mann questioned, “He had to travel to Delhi; why was he forced to stay in Khanauri or Shambhu?” A number of requests, including the execution of the Swaminathan Commission’s suggestion, farmer debt waivers, and the introduction of legislation guaranteeing a Minimum Support Price for all crops, have been made by the protesting farmers. A group of three Union ministers had suggested, during the final round of negotiations that concluded beyond midnight on Sunday, that federal agencies purchase five commodities from farmers: moong dal, urad dal, tur dal, maize, and cotton at a minimum support price for a period of five years.

Today, Union Minister Anurag Thakur stated, “We were prepared for talks before as well. We are still prepared, and we will continue to be prepared in the future. We have no issues because they are our “Annadatas.” You can only listen to the newest music on JioSaavn.com.
Arjun Munda, the Union Minister of Agriculture and a member of the government panel, has urged the demonstrators to keep the calm and work out problems via dialogue.
