In the viral video, Singh can be heard mocking the efforts made by the Bhagwant Mann’s police and saying he managed to escape despite their best efforts. He put a full stop to the media reports speculating that he would surrender.

Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh who is on the run for the last 10 days is likely to surrender himself before the Punjab Police, said reports. The radical Sikh preacher who had been evading arrest for around two weeks has reportedly returned to Punjab.

The Punjab Police are on his tail but are yet to nab him. There are reports that the Waris Punjab De chief has put forth three demands before Punjab Police over the arrest.

Amritpal Singh is evading arrest since March 18 even after the state police launched a crackdown against him after his convoy was spotted in Jalandhar. Since then, he fled to several states, including Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, evading multiple checkpoints, and changing vehicles and hideouts several times.

Now, there are reports that the pro-Khalistan leader may surrender himself in the Golden Temple before Akal Takht. Policemen in plain clothes have also been deployed around Golden Temple.

Punjab Police have initiated a large search operation radical preacher in a Hoshiarpur village and nearby regions where Amritpal Singh and his associates may be reportedly hiding.
