A Delhi University student who sheltered Khalistani radical Amritpal Singh in Laxmi Nagar on March 21 has been questioned by agencies and Punjab Police.
The student had come in contact with Waris Punjab De members during her participation in anti-farm law protests. According to sources, Amritpal’s close aide Pappalpreet Singh, who used to participate in farmers’ agitation at Singhu border, introduced the student to Amritpal. With the police in pursuit, Amritpal and Pappalpreet stayed at the student’s flat for a night and had food there. The student will be questioned again, as per sources.
A Delhi Police source from the East district confirmed that Amritpal and his associate Pappalpreet Singh had stayed one night at the student’s residence.

Amritpal’s presence in Laxmi Nagar’s Ramesh Park on March 21 was captured on CCTV footage, where he was seen with his constant companion and fellow Waris Punjab De member Pappalpreet Singh. The police said Amritpal’s casual attire in the footage might be an attempt to disguise his identity. Amritpal is seen sporting jeans and a jacket.
Amritpal’s last known location was in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, where he recorded his first video message since the chase began on March 18.
The never-ending cat and mouse chase between Punjab Police and Amritpal has now gone on for over a week. The police have issued a hue and cry notice against him and released contact details of officers to be contacted if anyone finds Amritpal. More than 200 of Amritpal’s supporters and aides have been arrested or detained so far.
Amritpal is known for making provocative speeches to incite Sikhs, blaming “the Indian state” for drug problems in Punjab and the community’s miseries. In February, he led hundreds of his supporters to storm the Ajnala police station in Amritsar and force police to release a man arrested in a kidnapping case. At least six Punjab Police personnel were injured during the siege. On Wednesday, Amritpal released a video appealing to community members to support him in his fight for the right cause. This was apparently his first video on social media since fleeing Punjab.
