The deceased has been identified as Navdeep Singh Hundal, 26, from Uttarakhand's Bajpur area, reported NDTV.
Dramatic scenes of violent clashes were witnessed at the ITO area of Central Delhi on Tuesday as the farmers demonstrating against the three contentious farm laws forcibly entered the national capital.
Farmers, riding on their tractors, tried to evade blockades by recklessly driving their tractors and attempting to mow down the policemen.
Several people were also injured in the clashes. The Delhi police used tear gas shells and cane-charged the farmers to disperse the crowd. A DTC bus was also vandalised by the protestors.
