Hundreds of farmers reached Kheri Chopta police checkpost and asked the cops to file the missing complaint. Samyukt Kisan Morcha leader Azad Palwan said the local MP has been “missing since last two years and the public is searching for him as development projects are halted”.

“Voters had elected him to solve their issues and ensure development in the area but he has gone missing. We have asked the police to install his missing person notice in the constituency and launch a drive to search him,” he added.

A spokesman of the Hisar police confirmed that farmers approached the Kheri Chopta police checkpost to lodge a missing complaint.

Despite repeated calls and text messages, Hisar MP Brijendra Singh could not be reached for a comment.
