He is in the front seat of a Maruti Brezza.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Amritpal Singh had been seen on Saturday in a Mercedes SUV that he dumped by a road in Shahkot. Hours later, he switched to a Maruti Brezza car of an associate, sources say. He apparently changed his clothes in the car, as the footage shows him in a shirt instead of his usual flowing robes.<\/p>\n<p>He swapped his religious clothes for shirt and trousers and changed his turban before making his getaway along with three aides in two bikes.<\/p>\n<p>The Brezza has been seized, and four people who helped Amritpal Singh run away have been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>More than 120 people, including Amritpal Singh&#8217;s uncle, have been arrested since Saturday. Several members of his outfit &#8220;Waris Punjab De&#8221; have also been arrested under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) and detained in BJP-ruled Assam. Internet was suspended for three days but was restored in parts today.<\/p>\n<p>The Punjab and Haryana High Court slammed the Punjab police and questioned how Amritpal Singh could give them the slip repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have 80,000 cops. What were they doing. How did Amritpal Singh escape?&#8221; the High Court asked the Punjab government, calling it an intelligence failure.<\/p>\n<p>The police crackdown on Amritpal Singh came three weeks after his supporters clashed with cops on February 23. They stormed a police station, flashing swords and firearms, threatening the police with huge consequences if they did not release Singh&#8217;s aide Lovepreet Toofan, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting and abducting a man.<\/p>\n<p>Amritpal Singh has been active in Punjab for some years and is often seen waving from the sunroof of his Mercedes, escorted by armed supporters. He claims to be a follower of terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who was killed in Operation Bluestar in 1984, and is known as &#8220;Bhindranwale 2.0&#8221; among his supporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/on-camera-amritpal-singh-seen-in-suv-crossing-toll-plaza-in-punjab-3880297\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The security footage from a toll booth in Jalandhar shows him in a Brezza.
