On Friday, the police officials said that the fugitive separatist, Amritpal Singh has changed five vehicles in 12 hours to escape arrest.
On the first day of the police crackdown on him and his outfit ‘Waris Punjab De’ – a radical organization started by actor and activist Deep Sidhu – he was first seen in a Mercedes before switching to a Maruti Brezza SUV. He was later seen riding a pillion on a bike wearing a pink turban and black goggles, suggesting that he tried to change his appearance to get away from the eyes of the police.
Recently, the police have released almost seven photographs of the Khalistani leader including some in which he is not wearing a turban, in order to seek public help in catching the fugitive.
In recent months, the Khalistani leader, Amritpal Singh rose to prominence after he and his supporters, armed with swords, knives and guns raided a police station last month after one of the preacher’s aides was arrested for alleged assault and attempted kidnapping.
Several policemen were injured in the brazen daytime raid on the outskirts of Amritsar, heaping pressure on authorities to act.
