The tractor rally on the Republic Day of India was mutually agreed by the leaders of the farmers and the Police to start after noon (1200 hours) and there was a specific route consented by both parties. They agreed no igniting or inciting of hatred or causing harm. However, the farmers leadership began their rally prior to noon and deviated from the marked route reaching the Red Fort, where they went on a rampage. Later, after studying CCTV footage, farmers leaders incited hatred and stirred the rampage against Red Fort on Republic Day. The farmers sported weapons and they used them. There was a skirmish between the farmers and the police leaving over 300 police officers in hospitals across the National Capital. The footage also identifies the terrorists taking casualties and igniting fury in the tractor rally turned criminal intent. Most of these traitors of the Country face jail and trial under the Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code.
