Masked man ‘caught plotting to kill 4 farm leaders’ makes U-turn, says ‘was reading script given by farmers’

New Delhi: A masked man who was caught by the farmers at Singhu border protest site has done a flip-flop on his claims. His video has gone viral in which he claims that he was merely reading the script given by farmers.

In a video that surfaced following his arrest by Sonepat Police, the masked man has said that he was reading a script given to him by the farmers.

Sonepat Police hasn’t certified this viral video but they claimed that the man was not carrying any arm or ammunition.
