Amritpal’s aides sent to four-day police remand

Seven associates of Pro-Khalistan leader Amritpal Singh were produced in an Ajnala court amid tight security on Friday. They were remanded in four-day police custody.

They were released from Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam after the Punjab Government decided not to re-invoke the stringent National Security Act against them. After their release from there they were brought to Amritsar on transit remand. They were formally arrested by the Punjab Police in connection with the Ajnala police station attack that occurred in February 2023.

Among those released were Basant Singh of Moga; Bhagwant Singh, alias Pradhan Mantri Bajeke, of Moga; Gurmeet Singh Gill of Bukkanwala village in Moga; Sarabjeet Singh Kalsi, alias Daljeet Singh, of New Delhi; Gurinderpal Singh Aujla of Phagwara; Harjeet Singh, alias Chacha, of Jallupur Khera in Amritsar; and Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal of Rauke Kalan in Moga.
