Jailed ‘Waris Punjab De’ Leader Amritpal Singh Escorted to Delhi for Oath-Taking as MP

New Delhi: Jailed ‘Waris Punjab De’ activist Amritpal Singh was escorted to New Delhi by an eight-member team of the Punjab Police for his oath taking as an MP.

Singh won from the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency as an independent. He has been granted four-day parole for the swearing-in.

The police team to escort Amritpal will be led by a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP)-rank official. The Punjab police team arrived in Dibrugarh of Assam on Thursday afternoon. Singh, lodged in Dibrugarh Central Jail was escorted to New Delhi in a special flight amid tight security for the swearing-in on Friday.

Singh’s parole orders bear stringent clauses, prohibiting him or his relatives from making any public statements during his visit to New Delhi. Any form of media coverage, including videography or circulation of statements, is strictly prohibited.

Singh has been instructed not to engage in any activities that might compromise national security.

Amritpal was arrested under the National Security Act last year.
