Amritpal In Nepal: Indian Mission In Kathmandu Asks Nepal Government For Help
Amritpal Singh
Fugitive Khalistan-supporting preacher Amritpal Singh has fled to Nepal. The Indian embassy in Kathmandu has requested the Nepal government to prevent his escape to another country via Nepal.
According to this report in The Kathmandu Post, Nepal’s largest-circulated English daily, the Indian’s embassy’s department of consular services wrote to the Nepal government Monday (March 27) afternoon claiming that Singh was in Nepal.
The letter (a copy of which is with The Kathmandu Post), sent to Nepal’s Foreign Ministry, requests the Nepal government to arrest Amritpal.
Nepal’s foreign ministry forwarded the letter to the country’s interior (home) ministry which, within an hour, circulated Singh’s personal details to all police stations, border checkpoints, hotels, airlines, airports and other agencies.
The Nepal interior ministry’s letter said that the fugitive Singh holds multiple passports with many fake identities.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
