The Punjab government has filed a petition with the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking permission to arrest Amritpal Singh, a radical leader and Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib, in connection with the 2023 Ajnala violence case. The government confirmed that Singh's detention under the National Security Act (NSA) will not be extended beyond its current term. Singh has been held at Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam since April 2023 after being arrested following a violent incident at a police station in Ajnala, where he and his supporters allegedly attacked police to secure the release of an aide. The Punjab government argues that allowing his release poses a significant threat to public order and security, citing intelligence reports of potential violence from his supporters. The petition also references a grenade attack outside the Punjab BJP headquarters and the murder of a YouTuber who criticized Singh's activities. The court has previously dismissed Singh's petitions for parole to attend parliamentary sessions, emphasizing the serious law and order concerns associated with his activities. The government seeks to ensure that Singh remains detained in Assam to mitigate risks to public safety and state sovereignty.
