Why it matters
The escalation of conflict between local farmers and state authorities over land acquisition reflects significant civil unrest regarding infrastructure projects.
The Bidadi police have registered two First Information Reports (FIRs), invoking stringent sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including attempt to murder, against farmers and their leaders in connection with the face-off with survey officials at Mandalahalli on Monday.
The first FIR was registered based on a complaint by the driver who ferried the survey officials, while the second was based on a complaint filed by Murali, an inspector attached to the Ramanagara Rural police station.
The FIR states that the protesting farmers abused the survey officials and attacked them with brooms and stones, injuring several officers. In his complaint, the inspector alleged that the farmers injured and attempted to kill both the surveyors and him.
