Meanwhile, Rakesh Tikait, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson has been named among the farmer leaders who have been named in the FIR filed by Delhi Police. They have been named for the violence that broke out in various parts of the national capital during the farmers' tractor rally on Tuesday. The FIR charges them for breach of No Objection Certificate (NOC) issued regarding the rally.

On Republic Day 2021, the farmers' protest turned violent after the protestors deviated from the designated route for the proposed tractor rally. After a clash between the farmers and police at ITO where hundreds of protestors were seen chasing police personnel with sticks, ramming their tractors into the buses, they then reached Red Fort.
