In an unprecedented event, jailed activist Amritpal Singh was flown to New Delhi on Friday for his swearing-in as a Member of Parliament. The newly elected MP from the Khadoor Sahib constituency in Punjab was granted a four-day parole for the ceremony.

Escorted from Dibrugarh Central Jail, where he has been held since last April, Singh was taken to the airport under tight security. A team of eight Punjab Police officers and local Assam authorities ensured his safe transfer.

His parole comes with strict conditions: Singh and his relatives are barred from making public statements, and all forms of media coverage, including videography, are prohibited. Moreover, he must avoid any actions that could jeopardize national security. The regulations underscore the gravity of his temporary release.
