New Delhi :

After the arrest of Pappalpreet Singh, close to Khalistani supporter and Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, the Punjab Police is now preparing to take him to Assam.

This morning some officers of Punjab Police will take Pappalpreet to Dibrugarh in Assam by flight.

Pappalpreet will be kept in the Central Jail of Dibrugarh.

Where all the central agencies of the country will interrogate Pappalpreet.

Punjab Police arrested Pappalpreet from Katthoonang in Amritsar on Monday.

However, till now Amritpal is away from the custody of the police. 

Amritpal had escaped from Jalandhar last month by dodging the police.

Since then Amritpal and Pappalpreet were constantly together.

Six cases are already registered on Pappalpreet and now the National Security Act has also been imposed on him. 

Amritpal and Pappalpreet were wanted by the police since March 18.

Many CCTV footages of both of them were also revealed, in which both were seen sometimes in Patiala, sometimes in Kurukshetra and sometimes in Delhi.

Pappalpreet has been arrested and the police is looking for Amritpal. 

Many supporters of Amritpal have been arrested in the past, some of whom have been sent to the Central Jail in Dibrugarh.

It is one of the oldest jails in the Northeast.

During the peak of ULFA insurgency in Assam, this jail was used to keep militants.

Many other Khalistani supporters including Harjit Singh and Amritpal Singh's uncle are lodged in this jail. 

On the other hand, Akal Takht has recently asked Amritpal to surrender before the police.

Along with this, the Akal Takht has also rejected Amritpal Singh's demand for 'Sarbat Khalsa'.
