CCTV video: fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh seen walking with umbrella in Haryana

A new CCTV video has emerged purportedly showing fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh walking with a black umbrella in Haryana. The time stamp on the video says March 20 - 2 days after the police began an operation to arrest Singh.

The purported CCTV footage show him wearing a shirt and jeans with an umbrella in one hand and a bag in another.

According to the police, Amritpal Singh and his associate had taken shelter in a woman's house in Haryana while fleeing from the police. The woman was arrested by the police on March 23.

Haryana Police said the woman nabbed from Shahabad in Kurukshetra district has been identified as Baljit Kaur.

"We have nabbed the woman, who harboured Amritpal and his associate Papalpreet Singh at her home in Shahabad on Sunday. The woman has been handed over to Punjab Police," Kurukshetra Superintendent of Police Surinder Singh Bhoria told PTI over phone.

He also said the woman knew Papalpreet Singh for over two years.

Officials have said Papalpreet Singh is considered one of Amritpal Singh's mentors and had been working closely with the radical preacher. He was seen driving the motorcycle on which Amritpal Singh rode pillion while escaping the police crackdown on his outfit on Saturday.

The two-wheeler was found abandoned near a canal in Jalandhar.
