On February 23, the court sent the accused to judicial custody for 14 days in connection with the Red Fort violence during farmers' tractor rally against the Centre's three new farm laws.
The reward of Rs 1 lakh was announced on Sidhu, Jugraj Singh, Gurjot Singh and Gurjant Singh who hoisted flags at the Red Fort or involved in the act, according to police.
