Amritpal Singh Nsa

Amritpal Singh, who the government describes as a Khalistani-Pakistan agent, has been taken to Dibrugarh, in Assam, where eight of his aides are already being held under the National Security Act (NSA).

The Punjab government told the high court here on Tuesday that Amritpal Singh aide Daljit Singh Kalsi, who has been detained under the NSA, was helping the fugitive profess radical ideology and wage war against the State for a separate Khalistan.

The arrested aides of Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh need to be kept in high-security jails outside Punjab after being charged under the stringent National Security Act, or NSA, as there is high risk of them trying a jailbreak.

Even as the 30-year-old radical preacher continues to be on the run for the last five days, seven of his aides have been arrested and shifted from Punjab to Dibrugarh central jail in BJP-ruled Assam.

With the hunt for Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh entering the fourth day, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann today said that strict action will be taken against those who have been trying to disturb peace and harmony in the state.
