Sikh separatist Amritpal Singh arrested after month-long manhunt in Punjab.

TL;DR Summary
Indian police have arrested Sikh separatist Amritpal Singh, who leads a group called Waris Punjab De, after a month-long search. Singh's rise has revived talk of an independent Sikh homeland and stoked fears of a return to violence that killed tens of thousands of people in the 1980s and early 1990s during a Sikh insurgency. He was arrested in a Sikh temple under the National Security Act, which allows for those deemed a threat to national security to be detained without charge for up to a year.
