Amritpal Singh's selfie with close aide surfaces on social media; Punjab police remain on hunt

Police officials yet to confirm whether this is the latest photo of Amritpal Singh or not

CHANDIGARH: While Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh has been successful to dodge the Punjab Police for the past 10 days, his new picture with close aide has surfaced on the social media.

The selfie features the Waris Punjab De chief with his associate Papalpreet Singh while holding cans of energy drinks in their hands.

Papalpreet Singh, who appears in the picture, is said to be Amritpal Singh's mentor. He was allegedly in contact with Pakistan's spy agency ISI.

In the photo, Amritpal Singh is seen wearing a jacket, a maroon turban and sunglasses. His companion, sitting beside him, is in a sweatshirt.

In the selfie, it can be clearly seen that Amritpal Singh has a trimmed beard and moustache while he is drinking energy drink along with Papalpreet Singh. This is for the very first time that a clear picture of Amritpal Singh has come to the fore.

However, police officials have not given confirmation whether this is the latest photo of Amritpal Singh or not.

Police crackdown on Amritpal

The police operation against Amritpal Singh began about three weeks after he and his supporters stormed into the Ajnala police station near Amritsar to secure the release of an arrested man. Six police personnel were injured.

The preacher escaped the police dragnet in Jalandhar district on March 18, switching vehicles and changing appearances.

He and his associates have been booked under several criminal cases related to spreading disharmony among classes, attempt to murder, attack on police personnel and creating obstructions in the lawful discharge of duty by public servants.
