Hoshiarpur, March 29
Like his uncle Harjit Singh, Amritpal Singh, too, perhaps wanted to give an interview to a TV channel before he had planned to surrender or get arrested by Punjab Police.
His likely visit to Hoshiarpur on Tuesday night from his hideout in the national capital was perhaps for the same purpose. Punjab Police teams from Chandigarh who got the clues to this plan chased an Innova from near Rawalpindi railway station in Phagwara towards Hoshiarpur.
The SUV reportedly stopped near Gurdwara Bhai Chanchal Singh at Marnaian village and the three persons on board suspected to be Amritpal and his accomplice Papalpreet Singh reportedly fled from the spot.
A door-to-door search operation was started on Tuesday night which continued till Wednesday morning. Police from three districts and paramilitary forces have been deployed at the site. ADGP Gurinder Dhillon had also reached the spot. The SUV had the words 'Kar sewa' written on the back.
Meanwhile, a CCTV footage dating March 21 showed Amritpal and Papalpreet emerge from Laxminagar area of Delhi.
