Till now, no case has been registered in this matter," Congress leader Anand Sharma said during a media briefing at the party headquarters.

On June 1, the farmers' began their protest, over various demands, including loan waiver and better prices for their produce. However, on June 6, it took a violent turn when five of them were allegedly killed in police firing at Mandsaur. One later succumbed to his injuries.
