This is the moment a Sikh activist is fined £10,000 for breaching Covid regulations by organising a 4,000-strong protest in London to support Indian farmers. The dramatic moment two Metropolitan Police officers confronted protest organiser Depa Singh and hit him with the fine was captured on camera. On camera Mr Singh, 39, says: 'For arranging a gathering under COVID restrictions, we're standing in solidarity with our farmers in Punjab, they fined me £10,000.' Mr Singh had led the march in Southall, West London, along with a 100-vehicle convoy made up of tractors, trucks, vans and cars. The demonstration was held to protest against recent reforms introduced by the Indian government which farmers there claim are against their interests.
