DIBRUGARH: Amidst a crackdown on pro-Khalistan ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh, four of his arrested aides were moved to Dibrugarh in Assam on Sunday. Four detained associates of Khalistani preacher Amritpal Singh were flown to Dibrugarh by a Special Air Force aircraft.

The arrested persons will be imprisoned in the Dibrugarh Central Jail. They were accompanied by a 27-member Punjab Police team, including the IG Prison. The four individuals were identified as Daljit Singh Kalsi, Bhagwant Singh, Gurmeet Singh, and Pradhanmantri Bajeka.

At Dibrugarh Airport, they were received by Dibrugarh’s Deputy Commissioner (DC) Biswajit Pegu and Superintendent of Police (SP) Shwetank Mishra amid tight security. The four arrested Waris Punjab De members were shifted to the bus at the runway of the airport itself, and a large team of Assam police escorted them to the jail. They were lodged in prison after medical tests.

Security has been tightened in the jail, and additional Assam Police forces have been deployed apart from the regular jail guards. A couple of days ago, Assam Police DGP GP Singh had visited the Dibrugarh Central Jail and took stock of the security apparatus inside the high security jail.
