Two days after a violent protest by farmers on Republic Day, the Delhi Police today intensified its crackdown on the farm leaders and sent lookout notices for those named in the first information report (FIR). They also handed the investigation to a special cell to probe the conspiracy and criminal design behind the incidents. The farmer leaders, meanwhile, vowed to continue with their agitation, peacefully, demanding the repeal of the farm Acts. Eyewitnesses said an eerie silence prevailed in several protest sites as farmers in some places have started returning to their villages. At Ghazipur, one of the main protest venues on the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border, Bhartiya Kisan Union (Tikait) leader Rakesh Tikait, in a statement, demanded magisterial inquiry into the incident at Red Fort, while resolving to continue with the agitation peacefully.
