Amritpal Singh, a radical preacher and pro-Khalistan leader, has been on the run since March 18, when the Punjab Police launched a massive manhunt for him. The crackdown on his organization, Waris Punjab De, came almost three weeks after his supporters stormed the Ajnala police station on February 23, demanding the release of one of his close aides, Lovepreet Toofan. The police have urged people not to believe rumours and fake news of Amritpal’s surrender, saying that it is fake news and factually incorrect. However, they have also said that if he wants to surrender, they will facilitate the same in accordance with the law. Amritpal Singh, the pro-Khalistan leader who has been declared a fugitive by the Punjab Police, has stated that he has not run away from his people and will soon appear in front of the world. He further added that he is not the kind of person who will escape abroad and put out videos. However, it is not clear when or how he plans to surrender or appear in front of the world.
