Bengaluru, May 31 (KMS): Ink was thrown at Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait during an event in Bengaluru in the Indian state of Karnataka.

The incident happened when Tikait was addressing a press conference on a sting operation in which a Karnataka farmers’ leader was allegedly caught asking for money.
About a dozen people barged into a press meet and sprayed ink at Tikait.
Tikait was one of the faces of the farmers’ movement against the now repealed agricultural laws.
