The police had registered an FIR (no. 129, dated: 14 Oct. at PS Bakakhana) against Sikh demonstrators, who were sitting on a local/link road (leading to village Behbal Kalan), on October 14. A copy of this FIR is available on the website of Faridkot police. This case was later withdrawn by the police on orders of Punjab Home Minister and Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal.
