What was the reason behind Amritpal Singh and his associates and his aides at Dibrugarh Central Prison?

During 36 days of a search, Punjab Police finally succeeded in detaining the extremist Sikh chief Amritpal Singh on April 23 and transferring him to Assam's Dibrugarh Central Jail under the National Security Act (NSA). He had been evading Punjab Police since March 18, which is when police began an attack on the leader as well as his followers.

The rest of his assistants, Daljit Singh Kalsi, papalpreet, Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal, Varinder Singh Johal, Gurmeet Singh Bukkanwala, Harjit Singh, Bhagwant Singh, Basant Singh, and Gurinderpal Singh Aujla, was also detained at Dibrugarh jail, and have been being charged under the harsh National Security Act.

The motivation behind Amritpal Singh and his companions' journey from Assam is not yet known. However, there are reports that Dibrugarh prison is secure and used to house elite militants during ULFA military activity in Assam, as a report published by Hindustan Times has stated.

Dibrugarh Central Jail is thought to be the safest prison in the state and is also one of the longest-running prisons in northeast India. It was established in 1859 and 1960 under the British on 15.54 acres of space. It's among the most well-fortified and oldest prisons, as officials informed PTI.

"The jail's compound has been protected by the elite Assam Police Black Cat Commandos CRPF as well as other security officers," a senior official told PTI.

Another factor that could lead to choosing Assam Jail could be the difficulty in speaking, which could prevent inmates from interacting with other prisoners and jail personnel, sources that they had told NDTV. The reports also say that Dibrugarh Jail has never had any prison breaks during its 170-year existence.

Senior officials told PTI they believe Amritpal was kept inside a cell under the strictest security. "A group from Punjab Police is present in the jail, along with officials from Assam Police," he told PTI.

People who know the subject said to HT that the government of Punjab in Punjab first thought of the idea of keeping Amritpal assistants at Delhi's Tihar prison, but because Tihar's Delhi prison has several Punjabi Gangsters and some militants, the government decided to move the aides to Assam.

The security around and within the jail has been strengthened since March 19, when four of the "Waris Punjab De" (WPD) were imprisoned in the initial batch.

The rise of an extremist preacher suspected of having support for Khalistan and his in avoiding arrest since the group of arm-waving supporters attacked a police station earlier this month was considered an attack by Pakistan's security establishment. It triggered concerns about the militants who had engulfed Punjab throughout the early 1990s and 1980s.

The pastor was taken into custody during the wee hours of early morning, around 6.45 am, as he was taken out in his traditional dress, which included the sheathed sword of the gurdwara at Rode Bhindranwale's village as well as the location that the preacher took over in 2011 as the head in Waris Punjab De.

After the arrest shortly after his arrest, the video went viral where the extremist preacher was seen giving a short speech, which indicated that he had surrendered. "I am deciding to give up my rights, and this isn't an ending; it's the beginning," the preacher claimed. At the "court of the Supreme Court," the man claimed that the court did not find him guilty.

Amritpal, the owner of HTML0, whose British spouse of nationality Kirandeep Kaur, was detained when she attempted to leave India on Thursday. Punjab Police arrested her in a somewhat covert operation that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reportedly oversaw during the weekend night and on Sunday.

In the clip, Amritpal Singh further states, "He could have left to any country if he desired. There was no concern about the arrest in the past, and neither do I currently," Amritpal Singh said. In addition, he said that the fighting and the agitation must continue, despite being detained.

Although the Punjab police and the authorities claim Amritpal didn't surrender, he was detained by shutting all his escape routes. Amritpal says in the video that he "decided to give up his freedom'. It is still being determined if either of these claims are true. It cannot be confirmed.
