NEW DELHI: A body of a man with a chopped hand was found near the farmers' protest site at the Haryana-Delhi Singhu border on Friday morning.
According to images surfaced on social media, the semi-naked body was seen hanging from a barricade.
"At about 5am, a body was found hanging with hands, legs chopped at the spot where farmers' protest is under way (Kundli, Sonipat). No information on who is responsible. An FIR has been lodged against an unknown person. The viral video is a matter of probe, rumours will linger," news agency ANI quoted DSP Hansraj as saying.
It is being alleged the man was caught while desecrating the Sikh religious holy book, however, an official confirmation about this is still awaited.
According to the media reports, the body has been sent to a nearby Civil hospital.
The police from both Haryana and Delhi can be seen on both sides of the border.
On October 3, Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh witnessed a vehicle-ramming attack and mob lynching incident during the farmers' protest. In the incident, four farmers were killed apart from four others.
Farmer organisations claimed that so far 630 farmers have died protesting against the three farm laws for the past year.
