The Hunt for Amritpal Singh: Punjab's Most-Wanted

Amritpal Singh, a 30-year-old Khalistani leader, has become Punjab's most wanted criminal. He is accused of maintaining close links with Pakistani intelligence agency ISI and some terrorist groups based abroad. He is believed to be building a "private militia" of youth from drug deaddiction centres to be used for violent protests and stockpiling illegally-sourced weapons from Pakistan. Singh's Waris Punjab De outfit has sparked protests at Indian embassies abroad, and he has called for an armed rebellion against democratically elected governments for the "ultimate goal" of Khalistan.
