A wide range of “illegal activities” being carried out by Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh, through his spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence, include sourcing arms from Pakistan and efforts to divide Punjab on communal lines, according to the tracker. Intelligence operatives have told NDTV on the condition of anonymity.
Amritpal Singh, head of a radical organization “Waris Punjab De” started by actor and activist Deep Sidhu, is absconding from the police. He claims to be a follower of Khalistani separatist and terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, and his supporters refer to him as “Bhindranwale 2.0”.
