Radical preacher Amritpal Singh`s uncle Harjit Singh was brought to Assam by the Punjab Police on Tuesday morning, a senior official said. Harjit Singh, who was moved to the Dibrugarh jail by road from Guwahati, is the fifth person linked to Amritpal`s `Waris Punjab De` (WPD) to be brought to the Northeastern state, he said.
A cavalcade of seven security vehicles took Harjit Singh from the Guwahati airport to the Dibrugarh central jail where he was lodged at 7.10 am, the official said. He gave himself up before the police in the early hours of Monday. Harjit Singh, who officials say helped his nephew gain control over the accounts of WPD, is among the five people slapped with the National Security Act (NSA), which allows the preventive detention of anyone who could threaten national security or public order.
