The NSA has also been invoked against Harjit Singh, who surrendered on Saturday night in Jalandhar. Harjit Singh, who is the uncle of Amritpal Singh, will also be taken to Dibrugarh Central Jail, according to the police.

The police had planned to arrest Amritpal while near Jalandhar-Moga highway when he was in Mercedes with uncle, and three other aides. However, he evaded them, leaving his vehicle and mobile phone near Nakodar.

114 people have been arrested in the crackdown against elements of the pro-Khalistan outfit. The police suspect an “ISI angle” and foreign funding in the matter.
