Chandigarh, March 23
29-year-old Kirandeep Kaur is Amritpal Singh’s wife. She is a UK-based NRI and is on Punjab Police radar as her name has allegedly figured in garnering funds from foreign shores for his activities and organisation 'Waris Punjab De' of which her husband Amritpal Singh is the head.
As of now, she is residing in Jallupur Khera, the native village of Amritpal Singh where she has been questioned by police a number of times over her husband.
Police have also scanned bank accounts of Amritpal, his wife and parents to trace sources of funds.
Kirandeep Kaur and Amritpal Singh got married last month in a simple ceremony, months after Singh was made the chief of ‘Waris Punjab De’. The outfit was formed by late actor-activist Deep Sidhu.
