Allegedly, the tractor was set on fire by a group of Punjab Youth Congress workers on Monday at the Rajpath in a protest against the farm bills.
Around 15-20 people set ablaze a tractor.
Ram Nath Kovind, President of India, on Sunday gave assent to the three agriculture-related bills that have triggered protests across the country.
