The protest is against the alleged injuries sustained by farmers in police action at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders on March 19.

Sources said a police team reached Dallewal's village in Faridkot early Monday morning. They asked him to stay indoors for at least three to four days. Subsequently, he uploaded a video on social media about his detention, criticising the police action.
