The Punjab police have arrested Gurinderpal Singh Aujla, a close aide of radical preacher Amritpal Singh, at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar. According to reports, Gurinderpal had reached the airport to take a flight to London when he was detained by the airport authority. The police had issued a look-out circular against him in a case registered under Section 188 IPC for brandishing weapons by Jalandhar police last month, which led to his detention.
Gurinderpal Singh Aujla’s arrest is significant as he is a close associate of Amritpal Singh, a controversial preacher who has been accused of promoting radicalism and hate speech in Punjab. The police are investigating whether Gurinderpal was carrying any weapons or ammunition with him when he was arrested.
The incident highlights the importance of the police’s efforts to crack down on individuals who promote extremist ideologies and use violence to achieve their goals. The arrest of Gurinderpal Singh Aujla sends a strong message that the authorities are committed to maintaining law and order in the state and will not tolerate any act of violence or intimidation.
The Punjab police deserve credit for their swift action in apprehending Gurinderpal Singh Aujla and preventing him from leaving the country. It is hoped that this incident will serve as a deterrent to others who may be considering engaging in violent or extremist activities. The state government must continue to work closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure that Punjab remains a peaceful and harmonious place for all its citizens.
