Deep Sidhu was pictured and filmed alongside a group of farmers who broke away from a peaceful tractor march and overran police barricades at the landmark, hoisting a Sikh religious flag on an empty flagpole. The collective of farmers’ unions that has been organising a months-long protest outside Delhi condemned the violent scenes on Tuesday that led to the death of one protesters and injuries to dozens of police officers, saying those involved in the clashes did not represent the peaceful movement against new government reforms. Delhi police have registered more than 25 cases in relation to Tuesday’s violence, with the complaints filed including top leaders of the farmers’ unions. Delhi police commissioner S N Srivastava said no culprit involved in the violence will be spared, adding that some of the farmer leaders gave inflammatory speeches after which protesters broke the police barricades.
