Sharing a 15-minute long video on his Facebook page, Punjabi actor Deep Singh Sadhu said in a very emotional manner that he had not done anything wrong.
A special cell of Delhi Police arrested fugitive Deep Sadhu today after a video clip was shared on Facebook and a flag was hoisted at the Red Fort.
It may be recalled that farmers' organizations had staged a tractor parade rally on the occasion of Republic Day of India on January 26 to withdraw the unfair agricultural laws imposed by the Modi government and during this time there were violent clashes between farmers and police. The demonstrators reached the Red Fort and hoisted farmers' flags and a religious flag on the walls of the Red Fort.
