Family members of radical preacher Amritpal Singh, who was arrested from Punjab's Moga district on Sunday morning, said they felt relieved on seeing him after more than a month and would fight their legal battle.
바카라We came to know through the media at 7:15 am that he has been arrested,바카라 Amritpal's uncle Sukhchain Singh said in Amritsar.
바카라Today, the family is feeling worry-free. We have seen him (Amritpal),바카라 he said. Replying to a question, Amritpal's uncle said the family will go to Assam's Dibrugarh and meet him. 바카라We will fight our legal battle,바카라 he further said.
"Police said that Amritpal was arrested while Jasbir Singh Rode, former Jathedar of the Akal Takht, said he surrendered. It will be clear in a day or two," Sukhchain Singh said.
The Punjab Police arrested Amritpal Singh in Moga's Rode village early Sunday, ending an over a month-long manhunt against the radical preacher who styled himself after slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
The preacher was taken into custody at 6.45 am as he came out of the gurdwara in Rode, Bhindranwale's native village and also the place where he himself took over last year as the chief of Waris Punjab De. He was later flown by a special flight from Bathinda air force station to Dibrugarh in Assam and lodged in a high security prison.
Amritpal's father Tarsem Singh said they were proud of him, and claimed that his son surrendered before the police.
바카라We were happy to see his face after 36 days,바카라 the father said. Asked if there were apprehensions that Amritpal had shorn his hair, Tarsem Singh said, 바카라We were sure that it would not happen.바카라

바카라We are happy that our son surrendered while being in full 'Sikhi sarup' (not having shorn his hair),바카라 she said, adding that Amritpal even shared a video in which he said he would surrender.
