Punjab govt tells HC: Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh not arrested yet

Date:

Chandigarh, March 29: The Punjab government on Wednesday informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court that “despite best efforts”, Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh has not been arrested yet.

Justice NS Shekhawat was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by advocate Imaan Singh Khara, seeking the “release” of the Khalistan sympathiser from alleged police custody.

The habeas corpus plea was recently filed by Khara, claiming Amritpal Singh was in “illegal custody” of police. Khara is the legal advisor of Amritpal and his outfit ‘Waris Punjab De’.

During the resumed hearing in the matter on Wednesday, the petitioner sought more time from the court for producing evidence to show that Amritpal was in “illegal custody” of police.

The court on Tuesday pointed out that the state’s stand is that Amritpal had not been arrested so far and had asked the petitioner to show evidence that the preacher was in “illegal custody”.

The state government, through an affidavit of Deputy Inspector General of Police (Border range) Narinder Bhargav filed in the high court, said that Amritpal is absconding from the law.
