Amritpal Singh’s close aide Papalpreet takes different route
After the special teams of the Punjab Police started their police chase from the Rawalpindi police station on March 28, they were on their way to an interview with a news channel in Hoshipur. Almost four persons on board abandoned the Innova SUV car outside a gurdwara in a Marnaian village, scaled a wall and fled away.
According to the reports, the Khaistani leader and another person who is detained by the police fled on one side. Whereas, Singh’s close aide Papalpreet and driver Joga Singh took another direction. During the police search, Papalpreet and the driver might have taken refuge in a dera at Hoshiarpur.
CCTV footages found
Moreover, in a CCTV footage, the police also caught Singh’s close aide walking casually within the compound of this dera and connecting link roads on March 29 morning.
Ahead of the clues and possibilities of Papalpreet’s stay in the village, on March 31, the police teams used drones to track any suspicious movement in the area but it perhaps was quite late.
Speaking to the media, a police official said that from fresh leads emerging, Papalpreet and Joga Singh had moved towards Sahnewal. In the village, they had a stopover at a gurdwara. However, the driver Joga Singh has been detained (based on the phone location that he kept on using). Reportedly, Papalpreet has escaped the police hunt again.
Further, the police said that the driver, Joga Singh the same driver of the Scorpio getaway vehicle from the gurdwara in Uttarakhand and had brought Amritpal and Papalpreet back to Punjab.
As per a police source, the radical leader, Amritpal had escaped from the spot on foot. Also, there were possibilities that he could be in a dera. Since, he could not join Papalpreet while on the run, he kept releasing his audio and video messages. The video has been shot by Amritpal in selfie mode since he reportedly is alone at some location and has been desperately pleading with Akal Takht Jathedar for announcing Sarbat Khalsa.
What’s the next plan?
As per several reports, now that the mastermind of Ammritpal escape plans is separated from the radical sympathizer. There are possibilities that he might give chance and clues ahead. Further, there might be that both could meet or gather somewhere and plan their next moves.
