Court Allows Jailed MP Amritpal Singh One 10-Minute Video Call with Ailing Grandmother
An Amritsar court has permitted jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh to make a one-time, 10-minute video call to his ailing grandmother within five days. Singh, detained since April 2023 under the National Security Act and currently held in Assam's Dibrugarh Central Jail, was elected to the Lok Sabha while in custody. The court granted the call on humanitarian grounds after his lawyers petitioned, noting his grandmother's ill health and recent hospitalisation.
