Farmers protest in Bihar's Buxar turned violent on Wednesday when a group of farmers protesting over compensation for land acquisition attacked the policemen a night ago after their violent midnight crackdown. On Tuesday night, police barged into the houses of farmers while they were sleeping and thrashed them and their family members. The entire incident was caught on camera and sparked massive outrage. The farmers had been protesting for over 85 days against the Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) power plant company for a new rate of land acquisition for the project at rates decided 12 years ago when the plots were bought. On Wednesday, the farmers pelted stones at the police as well as the power plant.
