Mandsaur: Hardik Patel, who came into limelight via Patidar quota stir was detained in Neemuch on Tuesday while he was on his way to Mandsaur to meet the families of the farmers killed in police firing. Police also used mild force to turn away Patel's supporters. "Hardik Patel was not granted permission to visit Neemuch. He was stopped at Nayagaon barrier along the Madhya Pradesh-Rajasthan border," Neemuch Superintendent of Police T.K. Vidyarthi told media. Hardik was travelling to Mandsaur along with a convoy of 150 people and 20 vehicles. “Patel, along with four others, has been detained while the rest have been turned away,” Vidyarthi added.

He planned to meet the kin of the deceased farmers along with other farmer leaders. "Hardik Patel neither sought permission to visit Mandsaur, nor was he allowed by the administration. That's why, he was not allowed to enter Mandsaur," District Magistrate O.P. Shrivastava said. Heavy deployment of police is in place at the Nayagaon barrier along Madhya Pradesh-Rajasthan border. Vehicular movement has been halted as well.
