Amritpal Singh has risen to prominence in the last 6-7 months as a separatist leader, Khalistani sympathizer and radical preacher.
Amritpal was born in 1993 in Jallupur Kheda village of Amritsar, Punjab. After completing his education till class 12, Amritpal left India in 2012 to join his uncle’s transport company in Dubai.

Amritpal underwent a formal Sikh baptism at Anandpur Sahib on September 25, 2022, officially becoming an ‘Amritdhari Sikh’.

During an interview with a Punjabi news channel, Amritpal revealed that he had joined Sikh activism in 2015 after the Bargari sacrilege and Behbal Kalan police firing incidents.
Amritpal Singh has three cases registered against him, out of which two are related to hate speech and one is related to kidnapping.

The owner of the vehicle, identified as Manpreet Singh of Anokharwal village in Nawanshahr district, was arrested later. During interrogation of seven accomplices of Amritpal arrested in Amritsar last Tuesday, the police found another cache of arms and ammunition including five .12 bore rifles and 193 cartridges.
