As per news report of NDTV, Anil Vij also cautioned the farmers, who have launched a sit-in protest outside the mini-secretariat at Karnal, saying that action will be taken against them if the probe finds them guilty. "We will probe entire Karnal episode... not just Ayush Sinha. We can't punish officers without a probe," he said, adding, "If farmer leaders are found guilty we will also take action against them."
