TT   |   New Delhi   |    04.02.21 : Delhi police on Wednesday announced a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh for anyone who provided information on Deep Sidhu, accused of hoisting the Nishan Sahib at the Red Fort during the farmers’ tractor rally on Republic Day. 

The police also announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for any information that could lead to the arrest of his associates  Jagbir Singh, Buta Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Iqbal Singh  for their alleged involvement in the violence.

The police have failed to track down the “missing” Sidhu, a Punjabi actor turned activist, and his associates. Sidhu is accused of inciting farmers to deviate from their assigned route and storm the Red Fort.

Farmers leaders have alleged sabotage and accused Sidhu of being a “government agent” responsible for the unprecedented violence and trying to defame their protest against the new farm laws.

The police has so far filed 44 cases and arrested 122 people. 

Several farmer union leaders have also been named in the cases.

“Our three teams are in Punjab to locate Sidhu and his associates, but they have not been able to track down them,” an officer said.
