The police had announced a ₹ 1 lakh reward for leads on Deep Sidhu and three other accused.

Deep Sidhu was accused of fueling chaos and clashes when a tractor rally by farmers protesting the centre’s three agricultural laws went rogue on January 26, with protesters defying agreed routes and schedules and forcing their way into the Red Fort.

Protesters were seen climbing the historic ramparts and placing a Sikh religious flag, besides clashing with the police in the widely condemned violence.

Police, who repeatedly appealed for calm and urged protesting farmers to stand down and return to the agreed routes, resorted to tear gas and lathi-charges to regain control.

The arrest was made by a team of Delhi Police’s Special Cell, said Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell).
