Before death, Deep Sidhu blocked Amritpal’s number. 10 points | Latest News India

Deep Sidhu’s family had refused to recognize fugitive pro-Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh as the heir to “Waris Punjab De” founded by Sidhu’s brother, and the actor had blocked his phone number before he died in February 2022 at a died in traffic accident. This was reported by the PTI news agency.

Amritpal Singh reportedly decided to start ‘Warris Panj-Aab De’ similar to ‘Waris Punjab De’ to ride on the late actor’s popularity after the radical preacher failed to take control of the existing outfit to take over.

Here are the key points about Amritpal Singh and Waris Punjab De:

1. Deep Sidhu’s brother Mandeep had founded an organization in Fathehgarh Sahib on July 4, 2022 in line with the late actor’s wishes to promote “Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan”, raise awareness of environmental issues, attract drug-addicted youth to sports , and helping people in natural disasters, among other goals, documents show.

2. It was established with strict regulations, including the roles and election of officers. Mandeep explained that the organization was formed to fulfill his late brother’s vision of serving the people of Punjab.

3. When Amritpal returned from overseas in August 2022 and demanded the papers for “Waris Punjab De”, Mandeep refused to hand them over.

4. Then a new organization called “Warris Panj-Aab De” suddenly appeared, to which Sidhu’s official Facebook page was linked. It was registered in Moga District, with the founding date set for December 15, 2021, PTI reported.

5. The Facebook page garnered a huge following and caused confusion among people who assumed that Amritpal had taken over the organization founded by Sidhu.

6. Some documents unearthed during the ongoing crackdown on Amritpal, PTI reported, suggest that the establishment of “Warris Panj-Aab De” may have been backdated. The registered address of the organization was Guru Nanak Furniture Store, owned by Amritpal’s close associate Gurmeet Singh Bukkanwala, in Duneke Village, Moga District.

7. Bukkanwala was taken into custody and charged under the National Security Act and transferred to Dibrugarh Central Prison in Assam. During interrogation, Gurmeet claimed that the organization was formed much later and some contacts were used to retrospectively register it from Moga District. However, he could not give any further details.

8. Amritpal has been at large since March 18 when Punjab police cracked down on the elusive preacher. He eluded the police and escaped their trawl when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district of Punjab.

9. Punjab Police said Sunday they had released 197 of a total of 353 people held in pre-trial detention over fears of disturbance of the peace and public order.

10. Police said they arrested seven people under the strict National Security Act.
