<p>Khatter, on the other hand, claimed that strictness was required to maintain law and order. During the farmer&#8217;s protest in Haryana, Karnal SDM Ayush Sinha, a 2018-batch IAS officer, was caught on camera asking police to smash farmers&#8217; heads. The IAS officer, on the other hand, stated that he had not seen the viral video and that he would check it out and remark later.</p>
