“We were sitting peacefully on the backside of the stage at Singhu border, but suddenly we observed stones being hurled towards us. As we stood up to check what was happening, we found Delhi police cops baton charging us while BJP goons were continuously hurling stones towards us,” he explained.
“We opposed Delhi police cops for not stopping the BJP goons from hurling stones on us, but during this, we observed some of those BJP goons moving towards the temporary bathrooms set up for the protesting women farmers,” he said.
“We tried to stop them, but they didn’t step back, after which I started moving towards them to make them step back as all of them were carrying stones,” he said while adding that the Delhi cops captured him while coming back after making the BJP goons run from the bathrooms of women farmers.
“They thrashed me brutally with batons in the head due to which I turned insensitive, and they kept on thrashing and dragging me publically,” he informed.

How Delhi police tortured Bhai Ranjit Singh?
Talking about the torture committed by the Delhi police cops, Bhi Ranjit Singh revealed that the Delhi police cops asked him to lay straight, after which they tied his feet. “They kept on beating my foot palms with batons, but I also kept on reciting Japji Sahib,” he added.
“After beating my foot palms for some time, they thought I had turned unconscious due to which they went back,” he said.
“After half an hour, they came back and started dragging by my hair to shift me to another room where I also kept on lying for about 15-20 minutes,” he further said.
“After 15-20 minutes, they threw water on me to wake me up. On waking up, I found myself lying in a pool of blood,” he explained while adding that they took him to another police station where various police officers kept on interrogating him.
“At around 01:00 am, they brought me back to the Alipur police station. Some of the police cops deployed there showed sympathy towards me and gave me a blanket,” he said.
“After two hours, they awakened me and took me to a hospital where the doctors gave me an injection of tetanus after checking the injuries on my body,” he said.
“Next day, they kept on shuffling me in various police stations where they forced me to sign several blank papers,” he revealed while adding that the Delhi police cops produced him in the Court during the evening hours where he noticed Manjinder Singh Sirsa standing outside the Court.
“Manjinder Singh Sirsa asked me whether I wanted him to convey any message to my family members. On this, I asked him to tell my family members that Khalsa is in Chardi Kla,” he said.
