Amritpal Singh, a supporter of Khalistan, was transferred to Dibrugarh in Assam for security reasons after he was detained in Moga, Punjab, on Sunday.
One of the safest jails in northeastern India is said to be the 166-year-old Assam Prison in Dibrugarh. In the same jail are nine of Amritpal’s assistants who are Waris Punjab De members.
Amritpal may have also been moved there by the Punjab Police, who were worried that a recurrence of the Ajnala jailbreak event might occur.
Amritpal Singh was apprehended by the Punjab Police early on Sunday morning in Moga’s Rode village, putting an end to a more than month-long quest for the Khalistani activist who adopted the name Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
“Amritpal has been put in a separate cell, in a distant from his accomplices who are also in the same jail after they were arrested during Punjab Police sweep,” a top source told ANI. “They are also in the same jail.
The insider also stated that Amritpal would be questioned in the Dibrugarh jail by a team from the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), and other Central Intelligence agencies.
“He will be questioned about his connections to his supporters and his money. As a result of the numerous reports intelligence agencies have received about his connections to handlers in Pakistan and other nations, the official claimed.
“We have requested that Assam Police increase security surrounding the jail’s property and properly frisk all visitors before recording their information. In addition to state police, Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) is also stationed outside the detention buildings, he continued.
At 8.25 am, a special chartered aeroplane from Bathinda Airport took off, and it arrived at the Dibrugarh Airport at 2.20 pm with a squad of Punjab police in tow. Senior Assam Police personnel met them at the airport, and after a quick trip to Dibrugarh Jail and a medical checkup, they were placed in a cell.
