Explained: Why Punjab Decided to Extend Amritpal Singh’s NSA Detention, Latest News:

The detention of jailed Khadoor Sahib MP and pro-Khalistani activist Amritpal Singh has been extended by another year by the Punjab government.

Singh's detention under the National Security Act (NSA) continues at Dibrugarh Jail in Assam. However, deliberations are ongoing on whether he should continue to be held in Assam or be shifted to another jail.

He, along with nine others, was named as a co-accused in 12 FIRs filed against them. However, the NSA detention of the other nine has not been extended.

According to a report by The Tribune, police officials cited additional evidence specific to Amritpal that sets him apart and marks him as a continued threat to the law and order situation in the state.

The extension was reportedly approved by the state Home Department following a recommendation from the Amritsar District Magistrate, which was based on inputs from the police and intelligence agencies. The decision was made after thorough deliberation by the Department of Home Affairs and Justice, in consultation with the advisory board.

Amritpal Singh, a radical Sikh preacher and self-styled leader of 'Waris Punjab De', was arrested in April 2023 after evading police for over a month. His arrest followed the Ajnala incident on February 23, 2023, where he and his armed supporters stormed a police station near Amritsar, demanding the release of his aide. The violent clash, which involved breaking barricades and injuring police personnel, led to multiple serious charges against him, including attempt to murder, inciting communal disharmony, and obstructing public servants. He was later detained under the National Security Act (NSA) and has been held in Assam's Dibrugarh Jail since.
