The Delhi Police on Wednesday, 3 February, announced cash rewards for any information leading to the arrest of several accused of the 26 January violence in Delhi, including Punjabi celebrity Deep Sidhu.

Along with Sidhu, a reward of Rs 1 lakh has been announced for information on Jugraj Singh, Gurjot Singh and Gurjant Singh, and Rs 50,000 each for information on Jajbir Singh, Buta Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Iqbal Singh.

All the accused have been named in several FIRs registered over the violence in Delhi on 26 January amid the farmers’ tractor rally.

Sidhu has specifically become the target of several farm union leaders as well as the police for allegedly instigating protesters to break away from the designated route and divert the tractor rally to the Red Fort.

Sidhu in several video messages has confessed to have hoisted flags at the Red Fort and has accused farm union leaders of taking decisions unilaterally.

The Delhi Police has intensified crackdown on the farmers’ protests leading to scores of FIRs and arrests already having taken place so far.

The police is also continuing to beef up security at the borders by additional deployment of forces, installation of iron spikes and wooden boards with big nails cemented onto the roads.

Delhi Police’s iron barricades have now been further fortified by concertina wires as well as double layers of concrete slabs, further strengthened by pouring in concrete mix between them to make them difficult to move.
