New Delhi: Fugitive Khalistani leader and Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh is in contact with Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI, which helped the radical preacher to flee to Nepal, as per ABP News sources.

"As far as my arrest is concerned, it is in the hands of God," he said in Punjabi in the undated video.
