'forcibly removed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'ron's upset when a tout is put out' is the wordplay.
'ron's' becomes 'r' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'when' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is put out' indicates putting letters inside.
'on' written backwards gives 'no'.
'r'+'no'='rno'
'rno' placed into 'tout' is 'TORN OUT'.

'or' is the link.
