February 16, 2021 10:30

The custody of punjabi actor-activist Deep Sidhu, who has been arrested in the Red Fort violence case, has been extended by seven days.

The actor-turned-activist was caught in Haryana's Karnal, about 100 km from the national capital. Reports said he kept changing his location to evade arrest.

The police had announced a cash reward of ₹1 lakh for information leading to Sidhu's arrest.

The probe into the 26 January violence is being conducted at three levels - local police, Special Cell and Crime Branch.

On 26 January, tens of thousands of protesting farmers who reached ITO from the Ghazipur border clashed with police.

Agitating farmers were seen climbing the iconic Red Fort and placing a Sikh religious flag, besides clashing with the police in the widely condemned violence.

The 36-year-old was accused of fueling chaos and clashes when a tractor parade by farmers protesting the government's three farm laws went rogue on Republic Day, with protesters defying agreed routes and schedules and forcing their way into the Red Fort.
