Radical Sikh separatist leader surrenders after month on the run

Amritpal Singh, a 30-year-old self-styled preacher and Sikh separatist, revived calls for an independent Sikh homeland in Punjab and stirred fears of violence.
Singh was appointed head of Waris Punjab De, an organisation founded by Deep Sidhu, an Indian actor and activist who died in a road accident in February 2022.
Singh led marches calling for the protection of the rights of Sikhs and his speeches became increasingly popular among supporters of the Khalistan movement.
Singh surrendered to police after offering morning prayers at a Sikh shrine in Moga.
Singh was arrested under the National Security Act, which allows for those considered a threat to national security to be detained without charge for up to a year.
