The police detained more than 50 protesting Unemployed B.Ed Teachers Front members and later released them. As many as 250 Unemployed B.Ed Teachers' Front members drawn from different districts of Punjab had assembled in the Chattar Singh Park to carry out a protest rally at Bharat Nagar Chowk in the afternoon.

Division 5 police had instructed the members not to venture out of the park. Eyewitnesses said that the police used force when the Unemployed B.Ed Teachers Front members tried to flee away by jumping the wall of Chattar Singh Park for carrying out a rally at Bharat Nagar Chowk. Despite assurance of the Unemployed B.Ed Teachers' Front to hold a peaceful rally at Bharat Nagar Chowk, the police allegedly did not let them move out of the park. The members then tried to leave the park by jumping over the wall, but police rounded them up. Some of the members also received injuries.

Ludhiana district president of Unemployed B.Ed Teachers' Front, Rajinder Singh and other members alleged, "We just wanted to hold a peace rally at the Bharat Nagar Chowk but the police refused our demand. It's our right to hold a protest against the non-fulfillment of our demands. When we were going out from the park, the police used force against us and detained our more than hundred members without any reason and five got injured also."

While the state president of the front, Sukhdarshan Singh and other members were agitated over the fact that they were just fighting for the rights of providing them their job, which was taken back by the government through improper implementation of the Supreme Court orders.
