Film director Vivek Agnihotri said the gurudwara where Waris Punjab De chief was seen addressing before his arrest on Sunday should be held accomplice for giving shelter and platform to an alleged terrorist. “It wasn’t an arrest. Amritpal Singh surrendered like a VIP after giving sermon in a Gurudwara. If the law and fair justice system prevail, the management of Gurudwara must be made accomplice in giving shelter/platform to an alleged terrorist,” Vivek Agnihotri tweeted.
Radical Sikh leader Amritpal Singh was taken in custody on Sunday morning from Punjab’s Moga ending the month-long hunt for the Waris Punjab De chief. Police said he was arrested from a Gurdwara in Rode village based on intelligence inputs. The village wassurrounded by Punjab police from all sides. As he was inside the shrine, the police did not enter to maintain sanctity, police said. “He knew he had no other option as he was surrounded from all side. He was arrested at around 6.45am,” Punjab IGP Sukhchain Singh Gill said.
