BATHINDA: Punjab police have arrested Amandeep Singh alias Amna, a Waris Punjab De member, from Panjgrian village in Faridkot in connection with an attack on Ajnala police station in Feb 2023.
The arrest was made following the questioning of seven Waris Punjab De members brought by Punjab Police to the state from Assam’s Dibrugarh jail.
When contacted, Ajnala DSP Gurwinder Singh confirmed Amna’s arrest.
Amna is learnt to be associated with Waris Punjab De since it was founded by Deep Sidhu.
The organisation is now headed by radical preacher Amritpal Singh, who is detained under the National Security Act and is lodged at Dibrugarh jail.
Amritpal, now an MP from Khadoor Sahib constituency, had stormed the Ajnala police station along with a large number of supporters on Feb 23, 2023 to get an accomplice released.
