IAF Aircraft With Separatist Leader Amritpal Singh Lands At Assam’s Dibrugarh Airport

A special IAF aircraft with Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh landed at Assam’s Dibrugarh airport. The radical preacher will be put in the high-security Dibrugarh central jail.

Amritpal Singh Arrested: A special Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft with pro-Khalistan leader Amritpal Singh landed at Assam’s Dibrugarh airport at around 12:40 PM on Sunday. The self-styled radical preacher will be brought straight to the high-security Dibrugarh central jail. Multi-tier security arrangements have been made both inside and outside the jail premises to ensure peace in the area. Assam police and CAPF are on guard. 

Fugitive pro-Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh, who has been on the run Since March 18, was finally arrested from Punjab’s Moga on Sunday morning by a combined team of Punjab Police and national intelligence. The Punjab Police have booked the pro-Khalistani leader under the National Security Act (NSA).

Earlier, a highly placed source in Dibrugarh told ABP LIVE that the Khalistan sympathiser was being flown to the Mohanbari airport in Assam’s Dibrugarh district in an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft amid tight security cordon.

Amritpal Singh would be whisked away to the high-security Dibrugarh Central Jail amid tight security where nine other members, including his close aide Papalpreet Singh and Uncle Harjeet Singh, of his outfit ‘Waris Punjab De’, are currently lodged. 

Other than Papalpreet Singh and Harjeet Singh, seven other members of the outfit, who are lodged at the Dibrugarh Central Jail, are Daljeet Kalsi, Basant Singh, Gurmeet Singh Bhukhanwala, Bhagwant Singh, Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal, Gurinder Pal Singh, and Varinder Singh. 

Amritpal Singh, who is an expert in changing appearances and giving the police a slip, was declared a fugitive in March, the very day Punjab Police launched a massive manhunt across Punjab and other adjoining areas to nab him.

However, being on the run by changing various locations with the help of his reliable and close aides and travelling through several nearby states, Amritpal Singh finally surrendered before the Punjab Police on Sunday morning and was arrested from the Moga district.
