R-Day violence: Farmer s death during tractor rally not due to gunshot, says Delhi Police
The Delhi Police on Friday informed the high court that the death of a farmer whose tractor overturned during the tractor rally on Republic Day was due to shock and hemorrhage as a result of head injury, and not due to any gunshot injury. The police stated this in the status report filed in a petition moved by deceased Navreet Singh s grandfather seeking a court-monitored SIT probe into the death. He asserted that Navreet Singh was allegedly shot by the policemen, due to which he lost control of the tractor.

The farmers agitation against the agricultural reform laws seems to have given a chance to the Opposition Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and Congress to revive their political fortunes in the Jatland of western Uttar Pradesh.
To woo the influential Jat community, leaders of both RLD and Congress have been attending the farmers mahapanchayats in different districts. The fact that Uttar Pradesh goes to polls next year is not lost on the parties.
After RLD supremo Ajit Singh and his son Jayant Chaudhary, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi too has been interacting with farmers and promising that her party would repeal the new farm laws when it comes to power.
