Dushyant Chautala Alleges Police Misconduct Amid JJP Protest and Arrests in Hisar

Former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala alleged that a police officer blocked his vehicle and aimed a pistol at him in Hisar while he was en route to meet the district police chief regarding the arrest of six JJP activists. The arrests followed a protest at Guru Jambheshwar University where protesters, led by JJP youth wing chief Digvijay Chautala, clashed with police after being denied permission for a student event. Police charged the protesters with trespassing, rioting, and damaging property. Dushyant accused the police of misconduct, while authorities stated investigations are ongoing and urged formal complaints for action.
