Amritsar, March 3: A toy drone was recovered on the outskirts of the pro-Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh’s village in Punjab’s Amritsar district amid the ongoing manhunt of Punjab police for Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, said officials on Friday.
Officials said the toy drone was seized on Thursday from Rayya village located on the outskirts of Amritsar. “Police have recovered the toy drone on the outskirts of Amritpal Singh’s village in Punjab’s Amritsar area. The drone does not have a camera on it. The Police have taken out the batteries,” said DSP Harkrishan Singh. “Police are on high alert,” he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh surfaced in a new video and said he was not a ‘fugitive’ and will soon appear in front of the world.
In the unverified video, Amritpal Singh sought to address some comments about the video that surfaced on Wednesday.
“I uploaded a video yesterday. It was addressed to people. The public thinks that maybe the video was made in police custody because I was looking here and there in that video while talking. You can see other earlier videos, I don’t talk too much looking at the camera,” said he.
He further said to those who think that he has run away or left friends, get that thing out of your mind.
“Soon I will appear in front of the world. I’m not the kind of person who will go abroad and put videos,” he said.
He urged people to spread the message to a big congregation on Baisakhi to discuss issues before the community.
This new video comes a day after the radical preacher, who is being chased by police released an unverified video calling on the “Sikh sangat” to come together if they want to save Punjab.
Notably, Amritpal is on the run since March 18, the day Punjab Police launched a massive manhunt for him. The crackdown came almost over three weeks after Amritpal’s supporters stormed Ajnala police station in Amritsar on February 23 demanding the release of one of his close aides, Lovepreet Toofan.
