A team of cyber experts from Gandhinagar-based National Forensic Science University (GFSU) is joining the Delhi Police in the investigation into the violence that erupted at Red Fort on Republic Day amid a tractor rally taken out by farmers.
According to a senior official of NFSU, the six-member team led by Professor Digvijaysinh Rathod, Associate Dean and Associate Professor at NFSU with specialisation in cyber security and digital forensics, arrived in Delhi on Sunday after they were requested assistance by Delhi Police.
Violent clashes were reported between Delhi Police personnel and protesters on January 26 at various areas of Delhi after the the Republic Day function. The tractor rally was held in the wake of ongoing protests by farmers against the three new farm laws.
