Bengaluru, May 30: At a press conference in Bengaluru on Monday, black ink was thrown at farmer activist Rakesh Tikait, causing chaos. The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader’s face was splattered in ink, according to images provided by news agency ANI. As a disturbance arose, people near him were seen tossing chairs at each other. Several more agriculture leaders were also in attendance.
“No security has been provided by the local police here. This has been done in collusion with the government,” said Tikait.

The ink attack is said to have resulted in the arrest of three people. The news conference was organised, according to reports, to clarify a sting operation in which a farm leader from Karnataka was purportedly caught soliciting for money.
