Amritpal’s wife Karandeep kaur stopped from boarding flight for UK
Amritsar: The immigration authorities stopped Kirandeep Kaur, wife of fugitive pro Khalistan leader Amritpal Singh, from boarding the flight for UK at Sri Guru Ram Dass ji International airport here on Thursday. She was questioned by the Amritsar rural police authorities along with officials of different intelligence agencies.
After nearly four hours of questioning, Kirandeep Kaur was sent back to the village at Jallupur Khera. Her flight departed at 2.30 pm after nearly an hour of delay.
Kirandeep Kaur is a British citizen and was married to Amritpal Singh at his native village, Jallupur Khera, in February this year. Her name has allegedly cropped in connection with the foreign funding to the ‘Waris Punjab De’ organisation headed by Amritpal Singh.
Amritpal Singh has been on the run since March 18 when a crackdown was launched against him and his supporters in connection with storming of Ajnala police station and injuring six cops during the clash on February 23. The police had registered a case against him and his associates a day later. But a crackdown to arrest him and his accomplices was launched on March 18. He has been evading arrest since then by changing appearance and vehicles.
Though police officials are tight lipped over Kirandeep Kaur being detained at airport for questioning, sources in the intelligence said that a look out circular was issued against her. Therefore, when she arrived at the airport, she was stopped for questioning.
She arrived at the airport at around 11.30 am. Her flight was to take off at 1.30pm, which was delayed by an hour. She reportedly pointed out that she was a British citizen and there was no case registered against her. She had denied the allegations against her about foreign funding and relations with Babbar Khalsa organisation.
