Jailed Punjab MP Amritpal Singh Gets 1-Day Bail For Grandmother's Last Rites

Khadoor Sahib MP and Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh has secured major relief from an Amritsar court, which has granted him one-day interim bail to attend the last rites of his grandmother, Charan Kaur. His uncle Harjit Singh has been granted three days of interim bail, while close aide Sukhmandeep Singh has received two days of relief.His return to Punjab on November 14 will be significant as he has remained lodged in Assam's Dibrugarh Central Jail for more than three-and-a-half years.

Amritpal Singh was arrested on April 23, 2023, after surrendering before Punjab Police at Rode village in Moga district. His arrest followed a massive police crackdown on Waris Punjab De after the February 2023 Ajnala police station incident, when his supporters entered the police station premises demanding the release of his associate Lovepreet Singh Toofan.He was subsequently shifted to Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam along with several associates under the National Security Act (NSA).
