An FIR has been registered in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district against a gunman of Fugitive Khalistani leader and Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, who tried to get his gun licence renewed using fake documents, as reported by the news agency ANI.  According to Kishtwar police, the gunaman identified as Virendra Singh received his gun licence from Kishtwar in 2014


The Deputy Commissioner cancelled the licence and FIR was registered in Kishtwar Police station. “A gun license was issued in the name of Virendra Singh in 2014. His license was cancelled after Punjab police wrote to Kishtwar DC. He had used fake documents to renew the license. It was found that a gun license was misused,” SSP Kishtwar Khalil Poswal told ANI.






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. 


The intelligence agency tried to move Amritpal out of Nepal to a shelter house in another country but after the Indian government asked Nepal to not let him flee to a third country, Kathmandu had put him on surveillance list, following which the radical preacher came back to Punjab, they added. 


As per the sources ISI can try to bring Amritpal to Pakistan and has activated its sleeper cells in Punjab's border districts of Tarn Taran, Fazilka, Ferozepur, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, and Ajnala. 


Instructions were given to prepare for sending Amritpal Singh out of Punjab to Pakistan through the same route through which Pakistan sends arms and drugs to its sleeper cells in India, sources added. Following the input, the Border Security Force deployed on the First Line of Defence and Punjab Police on the Second Line of Defence has been put on high alert. 


The pro-Khalistan preacher has been on the run escaping police dragnet since March 18 amid a police crackdown on his outfit. Several CCTV footage showed him escaping on four-wheeler, three-wheeler, and two-wheeler and changing his appearance from a traditional seer wearing traditional clothes to being spotted in trousers, jacket and sungalsses.
