According to Baldev Singh, President of Punjab B.K.U., the farmers were fired upon without a warning when they were trying to pass through a barrier put up by the C.R.P.F. near Goh village.

The farmers’ leader said that another farmer, Amar Singh, had been killed at Kattu village in Sangrur district by the police a few days ago. India’s policy of repression would never pay it.
