Alleged Sikh separatist leader Amritpal Singh arrested in India after 36-day manhunt.

Indian police have arrested Sikh separatist Amritpal Singh, who had been on the run since mid-March, for attempted murder, obstruction of law enforcement, and creating disharmony. Singh and his supporters had raided a police station in February after one of his aides was arrested. His arrest has revived talk of an independent Sikh homeland and stoked fears of a return to violence in Punjab. Singh was arrested under the National Security Act, which allows for detention without charge for up to a year.

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

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.
