Dushyant Chautala (former deputy chief minister of Haryana) has expressed serious concerns regarding police conduct during a recent protest by the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) at Guru Jambheshwar University in Hisar. He alleged that police officers harassed JJP members who were raising issues concerning youth and education. Chautala claimed that while party leaders attempted to surrender to the police, they were intercepted by individuals in a vehicle with fake number plates, who he alleged were plainclothes officers that issued threats. Hisar's Superintendent of Police, Siddhant Jain, countered that the officers were merely directing traffic and that multiple complaints are under investigation. Chautala accused the police of attempting to shield the officers involved and demanded immediate action from Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, including the transfer of the Hisar SP and an inquiry by the home secretary. He warned of potential legal action if the situation is not addressed.
