Sidhu is wanted in the Red fort violence case that broke out on January 26.

In a 15 minute-long video message on January 31, titled 'straight from my soul' on his verified Facebook page, he is seen giving an emotional statement: "Despite leaving my whole life behind, I came to join the Punjabis in their protest. But nobody saw anything but I was labelled a traitor.

"All I did was raise a voice for your rights. For so many months, I've been meeting everyone on roads, in tents. Now a single man is being made a traitor," he was heard saying. Within two hours of uploading, it was viewed 19,000 times and received 11,000 comments.

After the violence that broke out during the farmers' tractor rally in the national capital on January 26, the Delhi Police have arrested 122 persons in various cases of rioting and causing damage to public property, besides registering 44 cases at different police stations.

    Sunny Deol might be knowing whereabouts of Deep. It is the rule of Lathi & Arrogance of Power and not the Rule of Constitution.
