New Delhi: The Delhi Police has arrested one more person - a 60-year-old man from Chandigarh -  in connection with the Red Fort incident on Republic Day, taking the total number of those in its custody for the violence that took place across the national capital during the farmers' tractor parade to 127, officials said.

The police had earlier announced a cash reward for Singh and three others for allegedly instigating protesters. The police have also announced cash reward of Rs one-lakh for information that can lead to the arrest of actor Deep Sidhu, Jugraj Singh, Gurjot Singh and Gurjant Singh who hoisted flags at the Red Fort or were involved in the act.

A senior police officer said Singh was allegedly leading the mob at the Red Fort on the day of incident and he was found to have an ''active presence'' at the spot. So far, a total of 127 people have been arrested in connection with the Republic Day violence across the national capital, police said. Thousands of farmers protesting the Centre's new agri laws had clashed with the police during the tractor parade on January 26.
