The US food and drinks giant PepsiCo has withdrawn its lawsuits against Indian farmers that the company claimed were growing a type of potato it owned the rights to. Pepsi, which owns the potato chips brand Lays, had wanted the farmers to pay it compensation.

The farmers who were taken to court now want compensation from PepsiCo for harassment and intimidation.
