Amritpal Singh, the MP from Khadoor Sahib, Punjab, has been remanded to judicial custody until April 30 in connection with the February 2023 siege of the Ajnala police station. After a two-day police remand, Singh appeared before the Ajnala court via videoconferencing from Dibrugarh, Assam. His defence counsel confirmed that the prosecution did not request further remand. Singh's detention under the National Security Act (NSA) at Dibrugarh Central Jail expired on April 22, but the Punjab and Haryana High Court allowed the Punjab government's request to keep him at the same facility. Following his court appearance, Singh was returned to Dibrugarh jail. He is charged with serious offenses, including attempt to murder, following a violent incident aimed at securing the release of an aide. The crackdown on Singh's organization, Waris Punjab De, began on March 18, 2023, after he evaded police capture, ultimately surrendering on April 23, 2023.
