According to reports, the Punjab Police detained six of Amritpal Singh’s followers on Saturday after beginning a crackdown on the extreme preacher.
Although some reports said that the purported Sikh preacher had also been arrested close to Nakodar, this has not yet received official confirmation. According to a senior official with the Home Affairs department, internet service has been shut off throughout the state until noon on Sunday. On Saturday at the Jalandhar district’s Mehatpur village, police stopped Amripal’s cavalcade.
