Fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh’s wife was stopped at the Amritsar airport by the Punjab police as she was trying board a flight to London on Thursday, according to sources.
The development comes while a massive manhunt has been launched in the state to nab Amritpal, head of Waris Punjab Da, who has been on the run since March 8 when he escaped a Punjab police dragnet.
“Amritpal Singh’s wife Kirandeep Kaur has not been detained yet. She is being questioned by the Immigration department,” news agency ANI cited a Punjab Police source as saying.
