'Pursuing Idea Of Splinter Groups Outside SKM Conspiring To Deviate From Routes'

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police have now decided to pursue the angle of whether the alleged conspiracy to deviate from the decided tractor rally routes on Republic Day and possibly enter Red Fort was hatched by various splinter farmer groups that were not a part of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, under whose banner the leading farmer unions are protesting.

Sources close to the investigation said that these groups were specifically unhappy with SKM leaders and Delhi Police agreeing on alternate routes for the tractor rally and insisted on deviating from these routes.

This comes after various reports, including ones by Millennium Post had shown that a day before the tractor rally, there were heated discussions among protesters at the borders, with these splinter groups insisting on marching on Outer Ring Road.
