Defense counsels for Amritpal Singh, a radical Sikh leader and MP from Khadoor Sahib, presented two pen drives containing videos to a local court, asserting that the Punjab Police falsely implicated him in the Ajnala police station siege case. The lawyers, Ritu Raj Singh Sandhu and Harpal Singh Khara, argued that the footage contradicts police claims of injuries sustained by officers during the February 2023 incident. The videos show police personnel appearing unharmed alongside Singh, despite allegations that they were attacked. Singh is charged under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code, following an incident where he and his supporters allegedly assaulted the police station to secure the release of an aide. The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently permitted the Punjab government to keep Singh detained in Assam after his previous detention under the National Security Act (NSA) expired.
