Authorities in India are investigating the murder of a man at one of the locations used by the nationwide mass protests by farmers that have rocked the country since last year

The 35-year-old victim was beaten to death on Friday by a group of men who had accused him of desecrating Sikh holy texts, according to media reports. One of the man's hands was hacked off, the reports said.

"We are probing his role in the murder," the police officer said. "The claim of desecration of holy book at the Singhu border is yet to be verified. It is a matter of investigation.” The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella group for farmers organisations, issued a statement condemning the killing. The farmers' protests have largely been peaceful since January, when a large group tried to enter the capital and hoist a flag at the historic Red Fort to embarrass the government.

This is not a farmer's protest. It's an agenda to disturb the Government of India. Arrest everyone and strictest of action should be taken against the fake farmers protesters. We have had enough of this nonsense for almost more than six months creating a nuisance.

First of all they can't be called farmers anymore

Ah..nationwide mass protest.. what a joke seems your correspondents do not do their job for what you pay. Only protest is around Delhi area and that too by middlemen n Thekedars of Jathedars.
