New Delhi, Mar 31 : A Delhi court will hear the bail plea filed by actor-turned-activist Deep Sidhu, who is accused in connection with the violence on January 26 during farmers’ tractor parade, on April 8.

On Wednesday, the Tis Hazari court had transferred the bail plea of Deep Sidhu after a jurisdictional issue cropped up during the hearing.

Additional Sessions Judge Deepak Dabas had transferred the matter back to District and Sessions Judge (Headquarters), noting all the related matters have been heard by another judge.

Sidhu, who was arrested by the police for his alleged role in inciting people to resort to violence at the Red Fort on Republic Day, had moved the court on Tuesday.

He sought to include all videos and other materials on record which allegedly proved his innocence.

Currently, he is undergoing judicial custody.

The court had asked the Delhi Police to respond to the bail application filed by Sidhu at the earliest.

During the last hearing, Advocate Abhishek Gupta appearing on behalf of Sidhu said, “I never urged people to go to the Red Fort. Nor did I call anyone to gather at the Red Fort. You have all the videos. Whereas there are videos of other people also asked to come at the Red Fort.”

“This is a media trial going on. If I tell you the facts, you will be shocked,” Mr Gupta had said in his submission.

Sidhu is among the 143 people so far arrested in connection with as many as 44 cases registered regarding the violence in the national capital on Republic Day.(UNI)
