Amritpal Singh, a prominent 'Waris Punjab De' activist who has recently been elected as a Member of Parliament, will be securely escorted by an eight-member Punjab Police team to New Delhi for his oath-taking ceremony, an official confirmed.
Singh, who won the Lok Sabha seat from Khadoor Sahib constituency, has been granted a four-day parole specifically for this event. Despite the temporary release, stringent conditions have been placed, forbidding him and his relatives from making public statements. Additionally, all media coverage is prohibited.
The police team, led by a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), arrived on Thursday afternoon and will ensure Singh is transported to Delhi on a special flight under tight security.
