Rakesh Tikait, who emerged as a leading face of the ongoing farmers� agitation after January 26, faced an attack in Tatarpur village of Rajasthan’s Alwar district. During the attack, Rakesh Tikait�s SUV Ford Endeavor’s rear glass got broken, and some Tikait�s supporters also got injured.
Sharing the video of this incident�s aftermath on Twitter, Rakesh Tikait has accused the ruling BJP of plotting this attack. �Attacked by the BJP goons at Tatarpur intersection of Alwar district of Rajasthan, Bansur Road. Death of democracy,� he tweeted.
As per sources, Rakesh Tikait was leading towards Bansur after addressing a rally in Harsauli when a mob led by a former student leader Kuldeep Yadav and backed by BJP, started showing black flags to the caravan of Rakesh Tikait.
The mob stopped the Rakesh Tikait�s cavalcade in Tatarpur village cross-road, and ink was sprayed on Rakesh Tikait.
During this, the supporters of Rakesh Tikait came out to counter the mobsters, after which the mobsters started pelting stones on Rakesh Tikait�s cavalcade.
Meanwhile, it is learned that the Alwar police have arrested four mobsters, including Kuldeep Yadav, while the search is on to arrest other ones.
In reaction to this attack, farmers blocked the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh Ghazipur border in protest of this attack on Tikait’s convoy, but the police were able to restore traffic quickly by intervening.
