The Delhi Police has filed a charge sheet in the Republic Day violence before the concerned court. The charge sheet included statements of the several accused persons and also the evidence collected relating to the violence. Around 16 people have been named in the charge sheet and 13 of them are on bail.

On January 26, the tractor parade by the protesting farmers that was to highlight the demand of the farmer unions for repealing the three new agriculture laws, had turned violent as the protesters deviated from the pre-designated routes, attacked police personnel, overturned vehicles and hoisted a religious flag on the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort.
Later, on February 9, police arrested Deep Sidhu on February 9 and alleged that he had instigated the violence and was the key conspirator. Sidhu had gone missing after videos and photos of him surfaced from the Red Fort violence on January 26 and he had been regularly posting videos on Facebook denying his involvement in the violence.
Sidhu was granted bail on April 26 after being denied bail on multiple occasions with respect to the Republic Day violence.
