In a viral video on social media, SDM Sinha is heard saying “It is very simple and clear, whoever he is, from wherever he is, no one should be allowed to reach there. We will not let this line break at any cost. Just pick up your sticks and let them go. Hit hard… It’s very obvious, no need for any instructions, just bang them hard. If I see even a single protester here, I want to see him bang his head, bang his head,”.

Then Aayush Sinha says, “Action will do.” Then the voice of Yes Sir is heard. After this Ayush Sinha says, “Pucca”. After this, when Yes sir’s voice comes, Sinha says, “Okay, line up and get it done.”

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, reacting to Sinha's controversial instructions, later said, "Though the choice of words of the officer was not correct, strict action should be taken to ensure law and order situation."
