NEW DELHI: According to ANI, Delhi Police has also filed FIR against farmer leaders Darshan Pal, Rajinder Singh, Balbir Singh Rajewal, Buta Singh Burjgil and Joginder Singh Ugraha for breach of NOC issued regarding farmers' tractor rally. Yogendra Yadav among several leaders booked for violence during farmers' tractor march, say sources.
The farmers' tractor march in the national capital on Republic Day took a violent turn as a section of protesters broke police barricades and entered parts of the city which was not earmarked for their protest.
Incidents of clashes between protesters and police were reported from some areas in which several people were injured and vehicles overturned. The police resorted to lathi-charge and fired teargas shells to disperse the protestors.
Though the farmers union leaders distanced themselves from the violence and blamed the administration for the confusion. The Delhi Police registered more than 15 FIRs in connection with the protesting farmers' tractor parade.
"FIR also mentions the name of BKU spox Rakesh Tikait," ANI quoted Delhi Police as saying.
