Farmers Protest turns violent | Dt Next
Farmers' protest in Bihar’s Buxar district turned violent on Jan. 11 after a midnight raid by the state police.
Angry protesters torched several vehicles outside SJVN Thermal Power Plant Office in the area.
The protesters torched police vans and vandalized government vehicles as they alleged that police entered a farmer's house last night and thrashed him.
According to the SP Buxar, Manish Kumar, “People have also vandalized the power plant. Police are trying to control the situation and will be controlled soon.”
The police in Bihar’s Buxar district were caught on camera breaking into the homes of farmers at midnight and brutally beating them up in their sleep.
The video of the police action was shared by the family members.
The farmers in the state have been protesting for a while, demanding proper compensation for the acquisition of their land for a power plant by the SJVN in the area that happened before 2010-11.
Farmers were compensated at the time in line with the prevailing amount.
However, when the company began acquiring more land last year, the farmers demanded to be compensated as per the current rate.
The company is allegedly forcibly acquiring land on the old rate.
This triggered massive protests over the last two months, with the police barging into the homes of sleeping farmers at night and violently raining blows on women, men and children.
