Special aircraft carrying radical preacher Amritpal Singh has landed at Assam's Dibrugarh airport. He will be taken to Dibrugarh jail where eight of his associates, including main aide Papalpreet Singh, are already being held under the National Security Act, which allows detention up to a year without any charge.
Amritpal Singh was arrested this morning after he surrendered before the police after addressing a gathering in a gurdwara in Punjab's Moga, sources told NDTV. He was on the run since March 18 after the Punjab police launched a crackdown following the storming of the Ajnala police station by his supporters to secure the release of an arrested associate.
Recently, his wife was stopped at the Amritsar airport by immigration officials while she was trying to board a flight to London. Amritpal Singh married UK-based Kirandeep Kaur in February this year.
