Jailed MP Amritpal Singh Granted One-Day Parole for Grandmother's Funeral
Amritpal Singh, jailed MP and leader of Waris Punjab De, has been granted one-day parole by an Amritsar court to attend his grandmother Charan Kaur's funeral. Singh, held in Assam's Dibrugarh Central Jail since April 2023 under the National Security Act and facing UAPA charges, was arrested following a February 2023 police station attack. His family postponed the cremation awaiting his release. Singh won the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Khadoor Sahib while in detention. The parole reflects legal and humanitarian considerations amid ongoing proceedings.
