Some reports have suggested that Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale’s nephew Jasbir Singh Rode might have played a role in the arrest.of Amritpal Singh.
Earlier, when the Punjab Police had initiated crackdown on pro-Khalistan preacher, 'puls aa gayi puls' had become a meme when one of Amritpal's aide made a video of police closing down on him as he ran scared.
Before surrendering to the police, Amritpal Singh addressed a congregation at Khalsa Gurudwara in Rode, Punjab, the birthplace of Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
