Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh

Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh who is still at large was spotted on Delhi roads on Tuesday. The Punjab Police is on a hunt to nab the radical Sikh preacher who fled from Punjab last week.

A video of Waris Punjab De chief is going viral on social media showing a Khalistan sympathizer without a turban and wearing a mask. The CCTV footage purportedly from a market in Delhi shows the fugitive strolling down a street wearing dark sunglasses and a denim jacket.

His aide Papalpreet Singh could be seen following behind him while carrying a suitcase. Papalpreet Singh is said to be Amritpal Singh’s mentor. He was allegedly in contact with Pakistan’s spy agency ISI. Both wore masks to conceal their identities.

According to the reports, the CCTV footage is said to be from March 21, three days after the police moved in to arrest him in Punjab on March 18.

There are reports that Amritpal Singh and Papalpreet Singh came to Delhi via Kurukshetra in Haryana. It’s not clear if he is still hiding in the national capital or has scooted from there too. There is no official word from Punjab Police on the fresh footage.

India’s Himalayan neighbour Nepal has already put Amritpal Singh on its surveillance list as he could attempt a border crossing using a fake passport.

The move to arrest Amritpal Singh comes after his supporters stormed the Ajnala Police Station near Amritsar with guns and swords to demand the release of one of their aides. Six police personnel were injured during the incident.

Punjab Police has so far arrested 353 people for breaching of peace and creating a disturbance of law and order in the state.

Amritpal Singh heads Waris Punjab De, a radical organisation started by actor and activist Deep Sidhu who died in a car accident last year. The charges against Amritpal Singh include using young people to take up arms and commit acts of violence with his private militia, the Anandpur Khalsa Fauj, or AKF.

The meeting took place during Vijay’s visit to the national capital, where he has also been scheduled to attend the Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog. Reports indicate that the interaction between the two leaders lasted around 20 minutes.

This follows Vijay’s first official meeting with the Prime Minister on May 27, shortly after taking charge as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. During that meeting, Vijay submitted a memorandum on several issues concerning the state, including the Mekedatu dam project, Tamil Nadu fishermen detained in Sri Lanka, and other matters related to the state’s interests.

Vijay’s latest Delhi visit has included meetings with several national leaders as he continues engagements with the Centre and leaders from different political parties. Reports said he also met senior Congress leaders during the trip.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister took office on May 10 after his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as a key force in the 2026 Assembly elections and formed the government with support from alliance partners.

While details of the latest discussion between Vijay and the Prime Minister were not immediately disclosed, the meeting is being viewed as part of ongoing Centre-state consultations on issues concerning Tamil Nadu.

Three Indian seafarers who had been reported missing following a US military strike on an oil tanker off the coast of Oman have been confirmed dead, Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Thursday. The bodies of all three sailors have been recovered and identified.

The incident involved the Palau-flagged oil tanker MT Settebello, which was carrying 28 crew members, including 24 Indian nationals and four foreign nationals. According to reports, the vessel came under attack in the Gulf of Oman after US forces alleged that it had failed to comply with instructions and was transporting Iranian oil.

Three missing sailors confirmed dead

The deceased sailors have been identified as deck cadet Aditya Sharma, engine fitter Shivanand Chaurasiya and chief engineer Patnala Suresh. They were initially reported missing after the attack while 21 other Indian crew members were rescued. Sonowal described the development as a tragic loss and expressed condolences to the families of the victims.

The minister stated that the bodies had been located and identified following search and recovery efforts conducted after the strike.

Vessel carried 24 Indian nationals

MT Settebello had a crew comprising 24 Indians, two Pakistanis, one Ukrainian and one Russian. The tanker was operating in the Gulf of Oman when it was targeted. The US military has said the vessel was struck because it was allegedly violating restrictions related to Iranian oil shipments.

The attack has drawn strong reactions in India due to the loss of Indian lives and concerns over the safety of civilian seafarers operating in a conflict-affected maritime region.

India lodged diplomatic protest

Before the deaths were confirmed, India had formally raised the issue with the United States and sought clarification over the attack. The Ministry of External Affairs summoned a senior US diplomat and conveyed concerns regarding the safety of Indian crew members aboard commercial vessels.

The latest development marks a tragic conclusion to the search for the three missing sailors and is likely to intensify concerns over maritime security in the Gulf region.

Abhishek Banerjee

Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has received interim protection from coercive action for three weeks from the Calcutta High Court in connection with the alleged signature forgery case being investigated by the West Bengal CID. The relief comes amid an ongoing legal challenge by the senior party leader against repeated summons issued by investigators.

The case relates to allegations that signatures of several Trinamool Congress MLAs were forged on a party resolution submitted to the West Bengal Assembly during a leadership dispute. The complaint led to the registration of a case and a CID investigation, with the agency seeking to question Banerjee regarding the disputed document.

Court grants temporary relief

During the hearing, the court granted Banerjee protection from arrest and other coercive measures for three weeks while the matter remains under judicial consideration. The interim order provides temporary relief as the legal proceedings continue and the CID investigation moves forward.

Banerjee had approached the High Court challenging the CID summons and seeking protection from any adverse action. He had also requested additional time to appear before investigators, citing legal proceedings and other commitments.

CID probe and summons

The West Bengal CID has issued multiple notices to Banerjee in the alleged forgery case and has maintained that his statement is important for the investigation. Investigators have also questioned several MLAs and carried out searches linked to the probe.

According to investigators, the inquiry focuses on allegations that signatures appearing on a party communication submitted to the Assembly did not match those of some legislators. The authenticity of the document and related records remains under examination.

The matter is expected to return to court after the expiry of the interim protection period, while the CID investigation continues.
