Secessionist Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh chose to create Warris Panj-Aab De , phonetically similar to Waris Punjab De already formed by Deep Sidhu s brother, to piggyback on the late actor s popularity after the radical preacher failed to take control of the existing outfit, documents confiscated during a crackdown on him show.
Days after launching a crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides, the Punjab Police on Sunday said it has released 197 people out of the total 353 taken into preventive custody on the apprehension of breach of peace and disturbance of law and order. The police said it has detained seven persons under the stringent National Security Act.
Sidhu shot to fame after making headlines during the farmers’ protest in 2020. The actor was also booked for Republic Day violence in Delhi in January 2021.
Amritpal Singh first tried to gain control of ‘Waris Punjab De’ but then scripted a plan to twist the truth when he failed to take over Deep Sidhu s outfit.
