Trial for Amritpal Singh in Ajnala Police Station Attack Case to Begin May 2

Punjab Police filed a 1,200-page challan against Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh for the February 2023 Ajnala police station attack, where he and supporters allegedly clashed with police to free an aide. Amritpal, currently in judicial custody in Assam, was produced via video conferencing before the Ajnala court, which transferred the case to the Amritsar Sessions Court. The trial is set to begin on May 2, with charges to be framed separately for Amritpal, the last accused to be presented in court.
