The man who attacked SHO (Alipur) Pradeep Paliwal has been identified as Ranjeet Singh, 22, a resident of Punjab’s Kazampur village.
The man with the sword was believed to be one of the protesting farmers who had allegedly attacked a group that barged into the protest site in Singhu, despite heavy police presence, vandalised the protesters’ tents and broke their washing machines.
Clashes erupted between protesting farmers and about 200 local villagers at Singhu border on Friday afternoon after heated arguments between them over road blockade due to the protest. The situation was brought under control after police fired tear gas and resorted to baton charge.
