Ambala: Police recovered swords and sticks from farmers protesting in Haryana’s Ambala district on Friday, officials said. They were protesting over the arrest of farmers who were allegedly involved in pelting stones on the car of Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ram Kumar said that police recovered swords and sticks from the cars of farmers which they were planning to use in case things didn’t go their way.

“Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij was visiting a party worker last night when the farmers began pelting stones at his car and broke the windshield. Those involved were arrested, and a case was registered against them,” the officer said.
