Amritpal Singh, a Sikh preacher who has rekindled ideas of a Khalistan, is being sought by Indian police (independent Sikh homeland).
Authorities in Punjab, a Sikh-majority state in northwest India, claimed to have detained 114 of the preacher Amritpal Singh's followers in addition to seizing 10 firearms, 430 rounds of ammunition, and other items. Indian police claimed that to quell unrest, they had increased patrols and turned down mobile internet. Singh and his supporters have been charged with attempted murder, resisting arrest, and causing a commotion by the police. Singh has reportedly been on the run since Saturday when police attempted to stop his motorcade and apprehend him.
According to senior Punjab police official Sukhchain Gill, Singh founded a militia known as the Anandpur Khalsa Fauj. Its trademarks were discovered on his front gate, as well as on the guns and bullet-proof clothing that were found there, according to Gill. Tarsem Singh, the father of Amritpal Singh, told reporters that Amritpal was merely trying to combat drug addiction and that the search for his son was a "plot".
In a speech at a rally in September, Singh declared that "freedom for the community" was the cause to which every drop of his blood was devoted. "We are all still in servitude. At the hometown of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a Sikh leader who was slain in an Indian army operation in 1984, Singh declared, "We must struggle for freedom.

The protests have been criticized by the Indian foreign ministry, which has also asked for increased security for its missions. Amritpal Singh, according to the media, took over the leadership of the Sikh organization Waris Punjab De, or heirs of Punjab, in September after spending ten years in Dubai working for his family's transportation company. After lengthy protests against agricultural reforms by thousands of Punjabi farmers, many of them Sikh, in 2020–21, Singh gained notoriety on social media.
While Singh only had a few tens of thousands of supporters in India, according to another Indian security officer, he had a significant social media following, particularly outside of the country, which the officer connected to the embassy protests. "It's obvious that the actions taking place at missions abroad are a response to the operation against him. There is a clear connection," the cop who wished to remain anonymous stated.
30,000 individuals were slain during the 1980s and 1990s Khalistan movements.
