Digital Desk: After a month-long manhunt by the Punjab Police, Khalistani leader and Waris Punjab De chairman Amritpal Singh surrendered in the state's Moga district. Despite the fact that he was arrested in Punjab, Singh was brought to Assam's Dibrugarh Central Jail.
Amritpal Singh was brought to Assam's Dibrugarh barely hours after surrendering, and eight of his supporters who had been caught earlier are now being held in the same jail. According to reports, Amritpal is currently isolated and being monitored by 69 CCTV cameras.
Amritpal is presently being held at Dibrugarh Central Jail, one of the oldest and most safeguarding jails in India's northeastern area. Many people were perplexed as to why he was not imprisoned in Punjab, despite the fact that the majority of his alleged offences were charged in the state.
According to authorities, Amritpal Singh and several members of his extremist organisation Waris Punjab De were detained in Assam's Dibrugarh jail since detaining them in a jail in north India could lead to gang activity due to other detainees in the jails.
Why were Amritpal Singh and his other imprisoned supporters sent to the other side of the country? The north Indian jail may contain some gangsters and separatists affiliated with the Khalistani movement, causing disturbances.
The Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam has never had a significant prison break attempt in its nearly 200-year history, and it remains one of the most guarded prisons in India. The three-tier security structure also includes Assam's Black Cat Commandos, the CRPF, and local security officers.
Amritpal Singh turned himself up to the Punjab Police after preaching in a gurdwara in Moga. The police had encircled the area and stated over loudspeakers that there was no way out, prompting the Khalistani leader to surrender.
