Farmers ' Protest: Actor Deep Sidhu has been named in the FIR in the Red Fort violence case.
New Delhi:
Delhi Police's probe into the unprecedented violence during a tractor rally by farmers on Republic day is now focused on finding those involved in planting a Sikh religious flag at the Mughal-era Red Fort. Tuesday's tractor rally went rogue as protesters forced their way inside the fort complex and placed a flag. Several teams of Delhi Police's special cell or anti-terror unit are scanning through footage of violence at the iconic fort complex to identify those who hoisted the flag there. Actor-activist Deep Sidhu, whom farmers have accused of being responsible for the unprecedented violence during the Republic Day tractor rally, has been named in a case filed by the Delhi Police, sources told NDTV. A handful of farmer leaders have also been named in the 25-plus cases filed by the police since Tuesday evening. The cases will be probed by a special investigation team. The police has issued look-out notices against farmer leaders and others named in FIRs. Their passports too will be seized to prevent them from travelling abroad.
