Red Fort violence: Cops release photos of 200
Description
New Delhi: Delhi Police has released photographs of 200 people who were allegedly involved in the violence that broke out on Republic Day during the farmers’ tractor parade at Red Fort, officials said on Friday. Police said they have scanned the videos and taken the pictures of people from them. “We have released the pictures and the process of identification (of the people) has been started,” a senior police officer said. Thousands of protesters had clashed with cops during the tractor parade called by farmers’ unions on January 26, to highlight their demand for repeal of the Centre’s three farm laws. Many of the protesters, driving tractors, reached the Red Fort and entered the monument. Some of them even hoisted religious flags on its domes and the flagstaff at the ramparts. The farmers have been protesting since late November at Delhi’s borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. PTI
