During a media interaction on March 24 in Ambala, Minister Anil Vij said, "I don't think the Punjab government is serious about arresting Amritpal Singh."
Security concerns led to the relocation of Amritpal Singh's associates to the Assam Dibrugarh prison. According to the report, if the captured individuals had been sent to jail in Punjab, they would have committed a jailbreak.
Punjab police in pursuit of Amritpal Singh have claimed to have recovered CCTV footage which showed the last location of the fugitive Khalistani leader in Haryana's Shahbad area
