Here are the top 10 updates on Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh

  1. The radical preacher’s uncle and six other aides have been charged under the stringent National Security Act (NSA), which allows the police to detain suspects in any prison across the country.
  2. With a fresh FIR citing the Arms Act against Amritpal Singh, the center seems to be moving in to take over the case as a terror investigation. The Khalistani leader has been named “Accused Number one” in the new case.
  3. Amritpal’s top four arrested associates were also taken to Dibrugarh Central Jail on Sunday. Dibrugarh central jail is one of the oldest prisons in northeast India. It is heavily fortified, and was used to hold top militants during the peak of ULFA militancy in Assam.
  4. The ruling BJP has appealed to the Sikh bodies to “isolate” Khalistani supporters as massive protests over the crackdown were witnessed in the US and UK.
  5. Yesterday’s attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco came a day after the London incident in which some Khalistani supporters pulled down the national flag from the Indian High Commission building.
  6. The suspension of mobile internet and SMS services in Punjab has been extended till today noon. Neighboring Haryana also remains on high alert.
  7. The Punjab and Haryana High Court will today hear the centre’s response on a plea seeking “release” of Amritpal Singh even as the search for the Khalistani leader entered the fourth day. The habeas corpus plea is filed by Iman Singh Khara, the legal advisor of the outfit headed by Amritpal Singh – Waris Punjab De. Iman in his plea claimed that Amritpal was in illegal custody of the police.
  8. The massive crackdown comes a month after Amritpal Singh and his supporters broke into a police station with swords and guns for the release of one of his aides. Six policemen were injured in the clash.
  9. The ‘top secret’ action was a coordinated effort between Aam Aadmi Party-ruled Punjab, the Centre, and BJP-governed Assam, say officials. Sources say Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had discussed the plan to arrest Amritpal Singh with Home Minister Amit Shah in a meeting on March 2.
  10. So far, the police have arrested 114 associates of Amritpal Singh. Several members of his ‘Waris Punjab De’ group have been detained for questioning.
