Amritpal Singh Goes Live On YouTube, Says – “I Am Not Surrendering”

Amritpal Singh, a radical Sikh preacher who has avoided capture for the past 13 days, has posted a video on YouTube announcing his refusal to give himself up for questioning for the second day in a row.

On March 18, after a police crackdown against him and members of his pro-Khalistan ‘Waris Punjab De’ group, the 30-year-old separatist who models himself after Sikh terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale vanished. This was about three weeks after he and his supporters stormed the Ajnala police station near Amritsar to secure the release of an arrested man.

Amritpal Singh is a wanted person, and the Jathedar of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, has asked him to turn himself in to the police and assist with the inquiry.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court criticized the Punjab police last week and questioned how Amritpal Singh was able to consistently give them the runaround.

“You have 80,000 police officers. what they were doing. Amritpal Singh escaped in what way?” the Punjab administration was questioned by the High Court, which labeled it an intelligence blunder.

The Punjab administration informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday that Amritpal Singh is about to be apprehended.

On Monday, a fresh image of Amritpal Singh and his significant assistant Papalpreet Singh appeared online. Authorities claimed that the photo was taken one day after the start of the police operation against the extremist Sikh preacher.

Official sources said, “Amritpal Singh has reportedly maintained tight ties with various overseas terrorist organizations and Pakistan’s ISI intelligence agency”.

The Khalistani commander is thought to be connected to the Khalistani terrorist Avtar Singh Khanda, who resides in the UK and is thought to have played a significant role in the terrorist’s rise to notoriety. He is accused of recruiting young people from drug rehab facilities to form a “private militia” that would participate in violent protests.

Amritpal Singh and his friends have been accused of several crimes, including inciting class strife, attempting to kill people, attacking police officers, and obstructing the proper performance of government employees’ duties.
