According to a dossier made by the intelligence agencies, the leader of the separatist pressure group Waris Punjab De, Amritpal Singh, was using drug de-addiction centres and a Gurudwara to stock weapons and prepare youths to carry out suicide bombing attacks. The dossier claimed that Singh was mainly involved in brainwashing youngsters to become 'khadkoos' human bombs. The youth admitted in the de-addiction centres were allegedly indoctrinated and pushed towards gun culture. They were brainwashed to choose the path of terrorist Dilawar Singh. Dilawar Singh acted as a human bomb and killed the former Chief Minister of Punjab Beant Singh, according to the news agency PTI. Singh used to attend the shaheedi samagam'' memorial events of killed terrorists and glorified the use of weapons.
They also claimed that Singh returned from Dubai to India in 2022 at the behest of the Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence ISI and Khalistan sympathisers abroad. Security experts are of the opinion that Pakistan is trying to divert the attention of the Pakistanis from an ongoing economic crisis by planting stooges like Amritpal Singh inside India. They also said that Pakistan has lost all the wars fought against India.
The separatist has been on a run since the Punjab Police launched a massive crackdown on Saturday and arrested 112 members of Waris Punjab De so far. Several arms and ammunition were seized during an ongoing investigation. These arms and ammunition were meant to be used by the Anantpur Khalsa Front, another creation of Amritpal Singh. The police have also seized uniforms and jackets, apart from arms and ammunition.
Punjab Police officials said weapons were being stockpiled in various de-addiction centres run by Waris Punjab De and a Gurudwara in Amritsar. Singh has been on the radar of the state police since he and his followers stormed into the Ajnala police station in February this year to release one of his aides.
