Delhi Police on Tuesday, arrested singer-activist Deep Sidhu in connection with January 26, Republic Day riots.

He was held from Zirakpur area near Chandigarh.

Sidhu was arrested by special cell unit of Delhi Police for his alleged involvement in hoisting a religious flag at the Red fort on Republic Day.

According to the FIR, he was present at the Red Fort when a religious flag and a farmer flag were put at the flagpole in the historical monument.

He has also been accused of fuelling chaos and clashes prior to the January 26 tractor rally, as the protesting farmers defied agreed routes and forced their way into the Red Fort.

The 36-year-old actor, who hails from Muktsar in Punjab, had been posting videos on Facebook through his female friend and actor, who resides in California. Sidhu allegedly made videos and sent them to her for uploading on social media.

The police had announced a bounty of Rs 1 lakh for leads on Sidhu and three other accused last week.

However, Sidhu claims to be a supporter of strengthening the government to give more rights to states.

If I am being labelled a gaddar (traitor), then all farmer leader are gaddars, Sidhu said.

He had also uploaded a video on this Facebook page claiming that people had marched towards the Red Fort ?on their own? from all the Delhi borders on January 26. He also said that not many people changed their routes decided by farmer leaders who were arrogant? and wanted whatever decisions they make to be acceptable by all.

Over 44 FIRs have been registered and 127 people have been arrested by the Delhi Police in connection with the Republic Day violence till date.
