| Amritpal Singh tried to take shelter in Jammu after crackdown in Punjab | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 27: Although the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu has claimed that absconding pro-Khalistan radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh is hiding in Nepal, reports said that the chief of “Waris Punjab De” tried to take shelter in Jammu.
Quoting questioning of some arrested supporters of Amritpal Singh, reports suggested that the pro-Khalistan preacher was in touch with a couple in Jammu through his mentor Papalpreet Singh.
A woman who was arrested from Kullian village of R S Pura along with her husband on early Saturday morning is cousin of Papalpreet Singh.
“Within hours after Amritpal Singh escaped from the cordon of police in Punjab, Papalpreet Singh called her sister on Whatsapp”, reports said, adding, “Papalpreet Singh called her cousin only to arrange shelter for Amritpal Singh in Jammu”.
As reported earlier, Jammu Police in the wee hours of Saturday morning conducted a raid in Kullian village of the border sub-division of R S Pura and detained a couple for having links with the fugitive pro-Khalistan leader and chief of Wasis Punjab De Amritpal Singh.
The arrested couple has been identified as Amrik Singh and his wife Sarabjeet Kour, residents of Prem Chak village and presently putting up at Kullian near R S Pura town.
Police said that Amrik Singh and his wife Sarabjeet Kour were later handed over to the Punjab Police.
Meanwhile, the Indian Indian Embassy in Kathmandu has claimed that Amritpal Singh is currently hiding in Nepal and requested the Himalayan nation’s government agencies to arrest him if he tries to flee.
The Mission made the claim in a letter to the Department of Consular Services under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 25.
“The esteemed Ministry is requested to inform the Department of Immigration not to permit Amritpal Singh to travel through Nepal for any third country and arrest him if he attempts to escape from Nepal using an Indian passport or any other fake passport under intimation to this mission,” reads a copy of the letter obtained by The Kathmandu Post of Nepal.
The letter and Singh’s personal details have been circulated to all the concerned agencies from hotels to airlines, multiple sources told The Kathmandu Post.
Singh is said to be possessing multiple passports with different identities. |
