New Delhi: Separatist Amritpal Singh -- arrested today after being on the run for more than a month -- had not been able to flee India as he thought the police would then move in to arrest his wife. Top sources in Punjab government said Singh's wife Kirandeep Kaur, a UK national currently in India, was placed under surveillance by the Punjab police since he went underground in March as a crackdown was started against him. Kirandeep Kaur came to India a week before her wedding in February. Her visa expires in July. She was recently stopped at the Amritsar airport while trying to board a flight to London. She was also questioned last month along with Amritpal Singh's mother in Amritsar's Jallupur Khera village. Sources said Amritpal Singh wanted his wife to get safely out of the country first. He was apprehensive that if he skipped the country, she would be arrested and blamed for his escape. Since coming under the police radar after his supporters stormed a police station on March 6 to free one of their own, Amritpal Singh has been criss-crossing four states to evade police net. Between Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, he was continuously on the move, never staying at any place for more than a few days. From Punjab's Jalandhar, he escaped to Ludhiana, then to Haryana's Kurukhshetra, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit, Uttarakhand's Rudrapur, then onto Punjab's Hoshiyarpur, Jalandhar to Moga. Amritpal Singh was arrested this morning following an overnight operation, du...

By Manjeet Sehgal: The Punjab Police failed to arrest fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh, on the run for the past 32 days. The searches in Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and in the border areas with Nepal have been unsuccessful. The police now suspect he may be hiding in villages along the borders of Punjab-Haryana or Punjab-Rajasthan. After escaping the police dragnet on March 18, the Waris Punjab De's chief, Amritpal Singh, released a video on March 29 and claimed he managed to escape and was safe. Sikh leaders openly said that the case against Amritpal Singh has deep-rooted political implications. "A huge force was deployed to arrest Amritpal Singh but he escaped. The government is now trying to vent its frustration with the public. Houses were raided. It was said he was in Pilibhit, in Rajasthan's Kalibangan. What is their fault for being harassed?" asked former Jathedar of the Akal Takht, Jasbir Singh Rode, who is heading a committee to help the families of Singh's aides charged under the NSA. But where is Amritpal hiding? Sources in the police said he is somewhere in the country and has not fled India. Had he managed to flee, he would have released a video as he claimed in the previous one released in March that he would appear before the public. Amritpal isolated, disgraced Escaping the police has eroded Amritpal Singh's image as a hardline Khalistani. He used to claim that he would never run away and desert his supporters before the police launched their ...
