CHANDIGARH: A Punjab Police team visited fugitive Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh’s native village of Jallupur Khera, near Amritsar, on Wednesday and “spoke” to his wife of less than two months, Kirandeep Kaur, and mother Balwinder Kaur. The Waris Punjab De chief married UK-based Kirandeep on February 10.
Amritsar (Rural) SSP Satinder Singh denied that Amritpal’s mother and wife had been formally questioned, saying the visit to their house by a police team was “a routine matter”. There was also speculation about the NIA sending a team to Amritpal’s house after a vehicle with a Delhi registration number reached there around 11.30am. The SSP declined to say whether the woman police officer who led the police team asked Kirandeep and her mother-in-law any questions about Amritpal’s alleged involvement in subversive activities, including suspected links with Pakistani spy agency ISI. Sources said the questions centred on whether Kirandeep had any connection with hardline Sikh organisations in the UK.
