Two Men Arrested in Amritsar Over Pro-Khalistan Slogans Linked to US-Based Individuals
Amritsar Police arrested two men, Arshdeep Singh and Manoj, for writing pro-Khalistan slogans and 'Referendum 2020' on city walls, including Hall Road and Bhandari Bridge. The police linked the incident to US-based individuals, including Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, chief of the banned Sikhs for Justice group, and a foreign handler contacted via Snapchat. Authorities recovered mobile phones with evidence and registered a case at A Division police station. The slogans were removed promptly, and investigations continue.
