Earlier in the day, Chautala, along with Youth JJP President Digvijay Chautala and party workers, had reached the Hisar City Police Station demanding the release of those detained in connection with the university protest. The party claimed it had sought permission from the university administration to engage with students, but did not receive a response.
Speaking to reporters, Chautala described the incident as "police hooliganism" and alleged misuse of authority. "This is the BJP's 'Naya Haryana — goons in police uniforms," he said.
Videos shared by him showed a police vehicle intercepting his car. In another clip, he is seen stepping out and confronting personnel, even attempting to stop the vehicle as it drove away.
Chautala said he later met the SP, filed a formal complaint, and demanded immediate action against those involved.
