Farmers in Ludhiana surrounded the Senior Superintendent of Police office demanding the arrest of an accused who remains at large.
Ludhiana, Punjab – A group of farmers gathered around the office of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Ludhiana on Tuesday, voicing strong displeasure over the failure to apprehend a suspect linked to a recent incident. The protesters formed a human chain around the building, urging law‑enforcement officials to take immediate action.
According to local reports, the demonstration was peaceful, with no reports of violence or damage to property. The farmers’ demand centered on the belief that the accused’s continued freedom undermines public confidence in the police.
Police spokespersons confirmed that the situation was being monitored closely and that senior officials were in contact with farmer representatives to address their concerns. No arrests were made at the scene, and the SSP office remained operational throughout the protest.
The incident highlights growing tension between agricultural communities and law‑enforcement agencies in the region, especially when perceived delays in justice trigger public demonstrations.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the accused or the case that prompted the protest, and the farmers have called for a swift resolution.
