The purported video message comes hours after Amritpal is believed to have given the police the slip in Hoshiarpur’s Marnaian village.Īccording to top police sources, following a tip-off, the police Tuesday night chased a white Innova car from Phagwara in which Amritpal and Papalpreet were suspected to be travelling. The two are wanted by the police in more than half-a-dozen criminal cases, including Amritpal leading hundreds of men to storm a police station in Ajnala last month to secure the release of an aide who was arrested in an assault and kidnapping case. However, Amritpal and his mentor Papalpreet Singh remain missing. Since ‘Waris Punjab De’ head Amritpal Singh went on the run, the majority of his close aides have been arrested. It was only with the help of saccha paadsha (God) that I was able to escape.” “Instead they put lakhs on duty to surround me from all sides. Taking a potshot at police efforts to catch him - police have been tracking his movement from Punjab to Delhi to Uttarakhand and even to the Nepal border - he says, “Had the police intended only to arrest me they could have done so while I was at home and I would have given in. Noone has been able to harm me even though i have gone through testing times.” He then adds, “I am in chardi kala (high spirits)… My arrest is up to Vaaheguru (God). Sikhs from India and all over the world should attend the Sarbat Khalsa.”

“The Sarbat Khalsa should be organised at Damdama Sahib on the occasion of Baisakhi (13 April). “The Sikh community is faced with several issues and these can only be addressed in the form of a Sarbat Khalsa,” the video shows Amritpal, who has been on the run since 18 March in light of a police crackdown, saying.
