Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh surrenders before Punjab police after 37 days chase

AMRITSAR: Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh surrendered before Punjab police. The police surrounded the gurudwara while he was addressing his supporters. He was forced to surrender as he realized there are no means of escape. The police said that they didn’t enter the gurudwara considering its sanctity and that all other reports stating otherwise are fake. The police have given strict instructions not to spread fake news regarding Amritpal's arrest.

Amritpal might soon be shifted to Dibrugarh Jail in Assam. Eight of his supporters are now in this jail. They were arrested under the National Security Act.

Amritpal Singh has been absconding since March 18. A search was recently conducted at the house where he is suspected to have been staying in Punjab's Hoshiarpur on March 28 and 29. The police also posted notices at railway stations including Amritsar, informing that those who help to find Amritpal will be given reward. The investigation team was arresting those suspected to be helping Amritpal. The police had arrested brothers Hardeep Singh and Kuldeep Singh who helped Amritpal to stay in Punjab.

Meanwhile, Amritpal Singh's wife Kirandeep Kaur was detained by the police while trying to flee to London. Kirandeep was taken into custody by the police at Amritsar Airport. She was initially detained by the Immigration Department at the Sri Gururam Das International Airport in Amritsar. Later, the police came and took her for questioning.
