Guwahati, April 18: Nine people detained under NSA at upper Assam’s Dibrugarh jail in the Amritpal Singh case will soon meet their family members.
A member of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) said that permission has been given for a meeting between the nine people detained at upper Assam’s Dibrugarh jail under the NSA in the Amritpal Singh case and their family members.
Talking to reporters, SGPC member and advocate Bhagwant Singh Sialka said they obtained the permission from the district magistrate of Amritsar.
Sialka said there is a plan to take the families to Assam on April 19 for their meeting with the detainees.
The SGPC is pursuing the cases of those detained under the NSA.
The Punjab Police had sent nine persons — Daljit Singh Kalsi, Papalpreet Singh, Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal, Varinder Singh Johal, Gurmeet Singh Bukkanwala, Harjit Singh, Bhagwant Singh, Basant Singh and Gurinderpal Singh Aujla — to the Dibrugarh jail in Assam after charging them under the NSA following a crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides last month.
The police launched a major crackdown against Amritpal Singh and members of his ‘Waris Punjab De’ outfit last month. Amritpal Singh is still absconding.
