A group of farmers on Sunday held a protest in Panchkula, hours before Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was to attend an event there.
Shortly before Khattar was to inaugurate a wellness centre at Thapli Nature Camp, some farmers carrying black flags to protest against the three agri laws used alternate routes in an attempt to reach closer to the venue.
The protesters were put into a police bus and taken into preventive custody.
There was heavy police deployment in the area as Khattar was to reach the venue after inaugurating a few adventure sports activities in the Morni area.
Some of the protesters said they were holding a peaceful protest, but police used force to disperse them.
After the incident, BKU leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni alleged that after taking the protesting farmers into custody, police had beaten up two youths.
