Amritsar, Feb 23: In an attempt to protest the arrest of one of his accomplices, Amritpal Singh’s supporters clashed with police on Thursday and poured into a police building in Punjab’s Amritsar district.
Singh and his supporters were detained by police after an alleged guy was taken hostage.
Many supporters of Singh had gathered at the police station in Ajnala, Amritsar, carrying swords and other weapons. They overcame police-erected barriers.
While the demonstrators started a dharna in the compound, the police station made extensive security precautions.
In Rupnagar district, Chamkaur Sahib resident Varinder Singh was allegedly kidnapped and beaten before a case was filed against self-styled preacher Singh and his friends.
Amritpal Singh allegedly threatened Union Home Minister Amit Shah lately, claiming that he will suffer the same fate as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Dubai-returned Amritpal Singh is the head of ‘Waris Punjab De’ organisation founded by actor and activist Deep Sidhu who died in a road accident in February last year.
