Sidhu was arrested by the Delhi Police last year in connection with a tractor rally by farmers on Republic Day that resulted in huge violence after protesters came to the Red Fort and attacked policemen. The farmers were protesting against three new farm laws, which were later withdrawn by the centre in 2021.

He got bail in April, but was arrested again just after he was released. He was released on bail a second time in late April, with a court in Delhi making it clear he has to appear for questioning whenever the police called him.

His fans and people of Punjab have expressed their grief on the death of Deep Sidhu. Many politicians including the CM of Punjab has tweeted on the same.
