Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who was to begin a fast unto death on Tuesday to press for various demands, including a legal guarantee law for the minimum support price (MSP) on the crop, has been detained by Punjab Police.

Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher alleged that Dallewal was forcibly taken away by police from the Khanauri border, the protest site at the border of Punjab and Haryana.

He said the police entered the pandal at around 2.30 a.m. and detained Dallewal, who was preparing to start a hunger strike from the morning. Farmer leaders also alleged that the pandal has also been vandalised.
