A day after daring the Punjab police to arrest him, radical preacher Amritpal Singh surfaced in a fresh video on Thursday, asserting he was not a fugitive and would soon appear before the world.
The purported video surfaced hours after his audio clip came out on social media in which he debunked speculation he was negotiating his surrender.
“Those who feel that I have turned fugitive and I have left my associates, they should not keep this illusion in their mind. I do not fear death,” he said in the video in Punjabi.
“And soon will appear before the world and will also be amongst the ' Sangat',” he said.
Police have stepped up security in and around Amritsar and Bathinda amid reports that Mr. Singh may surrender after entering any of the two Sikh shrines — Golden Temple in Amritsar and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Bathinda.
The pro-Khalistan preacher said he was not like those who would flee the country.
