Amritpal Singh's Mother Questions Punjab CM on Son's Continued Detention Outside Punjab

During Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Shukrana Yatra in Rayya, Amritpal Singh's mother, Balwinder Kaur, confronted him over her son's continued detention in Assam despite the National Security Act (NSA) case against him ending. Amritpal, arrested in April 2023 following an attack on Ajnala police station, remains lodged in Dibrugarh jail. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has allowed his virtual appearance in court, while nine associates have been returned to Punjab.
