Punjab Police arrested Amritpal Singh, chief of Waris Punjab De, in connection with the 2023 Ajnala police station attack case after his detention under the National Security Act (NSA) ended.
A 12-member special team of Punjab Police reached Dibrugarh, Assam, and took Singh into two days' police custody for interrogation at Dibrugarh Police Station.
The arrest followed a recent order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which allowed the Punjab government to formally arrest Singh after his NSA detention expired.
Singh has been named in over a dozen FIRs across the state, mainly related to violence and intimidation, apart from the Ajnala case.
