Amritpal Singh managed to hoodwink the police on two occasions - once on March 18 by switching vehicles in Jalandhar and again in Hoshiarpur on March 28.
After eluding Punjab Police for 37 days, separatist and radical preacher Amritpal Singh finally surrendered at a gurudwara in Punjab's Moga. He is being shifted to the central jail in Assam's Dibrugarh.
Punjab Police had launched a massive crackdown against Amritpal Singh and members of his outfit 'Waris Punjab De' on March 18. The crackdown was a response to the preacher's supporters storming the Ajnala police station in February demanding the release of one of their outfit members.
Amritpal Singh had managed to hoodwink the police on two occasions - in Jalandhar on March 18 by switching vehicles and then again on March 28 in Hoshiarpur when he returned to Punjab along with his key associate Papalpreet Singh.
Papalpreet, who is considered to be Amritpal Singh's mentor and who has allegedly been in contact with Pakistan's ISI, has been arrested.
