Kirti Azad takes a dig at Shah, PM Modi
In a sharp attack on Union home minister Amit Shah, the sitting MP from Burdwan-Durgapur and former cricketer Kirti Jha Azad compared him to a “frog in the monsoon”.
A Head Constable of Madhya Pradesh Police was suspended Monday on charges of hitting farmers with a cane, injuring at least three of them, while more than 300 farmers were waiting outside a government fertiliser distribution centre in the Bhind district on Monday.
The incident occurred outside the fertiliser centre in the Lahar area. A video of the incident also went viral, in which the Head Constable was seen hitting farmers with a lathi.

An order issued by the Superintendent of Police in Bhind said, ”A video has gone viral on social media in which Head Constable Ramraj Singh Gurjar, posted at Lahar police station, is seen using force, which prima facie is against the rules and is indicative of tarnishing the image of the police.”

According to the order, Ramraj Singh Gurjar was suspended with immediate effect and attached to Police Line Bhind.
A large number of farmers had started reaching the centre from 3 AM today, as the centre was closed consecutively for three days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday due to government holidays.
A police officer said that in view of the huge crowd at the centre in Lahar, the administration had deployed force.
When the token distribution started at 11 AM, Head Constable Ramraj Gurjar suddenly started raining sticks without any provocation on the peacefully standing farmers while asking them to sit down on the ground.
