Multiple reports say that a young farmer suffered a head injury leading to his death as the Haryana Police fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets to disperse the protesting farmers at the Khanauri border with Punjab. But the cops sent out a tweet, claiming that the reports were a rumour and no one had died.
The Tribune put out a picture of the deceased farmer in their live blog coverage. The newspaper noted that the 20-year-old protester was killed while 25 others were injured in police action.
The report identified the deceased as Shubhkaran Singh from Bathinda. The report said the young farmer succumbed to his injuries at Patiala's Rajindra hospital and was allegedly hit by a rubber bullet.
