To be clear the police did attack the farmers long before republic day. It's a pressure cooker situation right now

  Did they actually attack? I haven't come across any news about that.

    Yes they've been constantly attacked since the early days of the protest, from last year. There's a lot of footage online of it from November/December. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55156219 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55156219

      I am from Kerala, which is currently ruled by the communists. I see protesters getting lathi charged and water cannoned pretty much every month (pre covid). So, honestly I can't say the farmers were treated badly based on the image in the BBC article. I am not saying violence is good, but police were lathi charging people during the corona lockdowns also.
