In a video message, Amritpal said he surrendered despite having several options. Police has rubbished his claims, say they had 'surrounded' the gurdwara he was in & was forced to come out.
Punjab Police's statewide hunt for Amritpal has entered its 5th day. But series of law & order incidents and subsequent demands for police action go back as far as last October.
In 'interview', jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi said he didn't get Sidhu Moosewala killed & warned actor Salman Khan of 'consequences' if he doesn't apologise for blackbucks case.
Mann’s reaction came days after the radical activist, carrying the Guru Granth Sahib, along with his supporters clashed with cops, broke barricades and laid siege to Ajnala police station.
Cops were told that demonstration outside police station would be peaceful, says DGP. Amritpal's associate aide Lovepreet Singh Toofan was released from Amritsar Jail on Friday.
Punjab Police had booked Amritpal & aides for allegedly kidnapping, assaulting and thrashing man who was critical of the radical activist who heads a faction of 'Waris Punjab De'.
Bhagwant Mann went off on a tangent this week when mediapersons asked about radical activist Amritpal Sandhu. Experts blame ‘political compulsion’ but warn of heavy costs.
FIR lodged on complaint of Barinder Singh, who alleged Sandhu and his men beat him up after luring him on pretext that they wanted to talk to him about differences he had with Sandhu.
Since the bulk of citizens did not regard drinking as a crime, they had no respect for the prohibition laws and did not cooperate with the police, wrote MV Venkata Rao in 1962.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
