Amritpal Singh, the chief of Waris Punjab De, was said to be on his way to Amritsar via Hoshiarpur yesterday when the Punjab Police were alerted to his presence. He escaped late at night via a checkpoint.
Amritsar is on high alert because Amritpal Singh, who has evaded arrest for over ten days, is expected to surrender soon. Police have been stationed near the Golden Temple and the Akal Takht.
