Over 50 police vehicles are chasing the Khalistani leader and his aides and the cops have traced his latest location near Shahkot, reports also said.

In February, Amritpal Singh and his supporters broke through police barricades and stormed the Ajnala Police Station. Reports said some of them also flagged off their weapons and demanded the release of one of their aides.

Dubbed as Bhindranwale 2.0, Amritpal Singh is the chief of Waris Punjab De formed by Deep Sidhu who died in a road accident last year. He dresses up like Bhindranwale who was killed during Operation Bluestar.

In 2022, Singh left Dubai and came to India to take the reins of Waris Punjab De. He issued a warning to Union Home Minister Amit Shah saying if he won’t let the Khalistani movement rise, he would have to face consequences.

Gangster-turned politician Atiq Ahmed was pronounced guilty in the 2006 Umesh Pal kidnapping case by an MP-MLA court in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj on Tuesday and handed a life-sentence along with two others, while his brother, Khalid Azim alias Ashraf and six other accused in the case were acquitted.

Special MP-MLA court judge Dinesh Chandra Shukla pronounced the guilty verdict against Atiq Ahmed, Lawyer Saulat Hanif and Dinesh Pasi under section 364-A (kidnapping or abduction in order to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which carries the death penalty as the maximum sentence.

Earlier, Ahmed, who was brought by a 45-member team of the Uttar Pradesh Police to the special MP-MLA court in Prayagraj today from Gujarat’s Sabarmati Jail, was convicted, along with the other two accused in the kidnapping of BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case prime witness, Umesh Pal in 2006.

Umesh Pal, then a zila panchayat member, had come forward as the prime witness in Raju Pal’s murder, who was killed on January 25, 2005.

Umesh Pal had claimed that Atiq Ahmed and aides kidnapped him at gunpoint on February 28, 2006 after he refused retract his statement given to the police in the BSP leader’s killing. Based on his complaint, the police on July 5, 2007, had lodged an FIR against Ahmed, his brother, and others.

The UP Police had submitted a chargesheet in the matter against 11 accused. One of them later died.
