Amritpal Singh, the leader of Waris Punjab De and Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib, was arrested by Punjab Police on Thursday following the end of his detention under the National Security Act (NSA). He is implicated in the February 2023 attack on the Ajnala police station, where he and his supporters allegedly attempted to force the release of an aide. A court in Dibrugarh, Assam, has placed him in a two-day police remand, with all trial proceedings to be conducted via video conferencing to mitigate security risks. The Punjab and Haryana High Court allowed Singh to remain in Dibrugarh Central Jail due to law and order concerns, despite the state government's request to transfer him to Punjab. He faces serious charges, including attempt to murder and rioting, alongside 41 other individuals involved in the Ajnala incident. Additionally, Singh is linked to 12 other cases in Punjab, including being named the main conspirator in the 2024 murder of social media influencer Gurpreet Singh.
