The Punjab Police expanded its hunt for pro-Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh to ‘deras’ and other possible hideouts of the ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief in Hoshiarpur district, where some suspects had abandoned their car following a chase three days ago.
Media reports claimed that Amritpal Singh’s mentor and social media handler Papalpreet Singh may have gone on a different route since the Innova SUV they were travelling in from Phagwara to Hoshiarpur got intercepted on March 28 evening. Amritpal Singh has been on the run since a police crackdown on Waris Punjab De on March 18. He has, however, appeared in two purported videos and an audio clip released on social media in the past three days.
