Amritpal Singh Arrested from Moga District
Amritpal Singh, a pro-Khalistan propagandist and the leader of the Waris Punjab De (WPD) group, was detained on April 23, by Punjab Police in Moga on suspicion of violating the National Security Act (NSA).
A month after the authorities began a severe crackdown on him and his group, Amritpal was arrested.
A tweet from the Punjab police department’s official account confirmed that Amritpal Singh was detained in Moga, Punjab, on Sunday.
The police advised people to uphold peace and harmony, never to spread false information, and to always check information before sharing it.
Amritpal Singh Arrested
Amritpal Singh has been sent to Dibrugarh under the National Security Act and will be questioned thoroughly,” the police officer said.
The National Security Act allows the government to detain suspects without trial for up to a year if they are deemed a threat to national security. The police thanked the people of Punjab for their cooperation and said that no one would be allowed to trigger unrest in the state.
“We are committed to maintaining peace and law and order in Punjab. Anyone who tries to create trouble will be dealt with firmly,” Sukhchain Singh said.
It is to mention here that so far, eight members of Amritpal’s group have been transferred to the jail in Dibrugarh. They have all been reported to the NSA. The Punjab Police detained 78 people on March 18 and began looking for Amritpal in connection with other criminal cases.
Almost three weeks had passed since Amritpal’s supporters stormed the Amritsar police station in Ajnala and demanded the freedom of one of his assistants, Lovepreet Toofan.
Amritpal has been charged with offenses under the Indian Penal Code, including attempting to murder someone, attacking police officers, and causing impediments to their legal performance of their duties.
