Despite various CCTV videos verifying the fugitive pro-Khalistani separatist leader’s movements, Punjab police have been unable to apprehend Amritpal Singh. Eight days on, as he still remains untraceable, a new CCTV footage has emerged which shows him walking in the streets of Patiala, Punjab. While some medis houses have reported that the CCTV footage is believed to have been recorded on March 20, some say that it was likely from March 19. Amritpal was said to be hiding at a relative’s house there.

In the video, the absconding ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief can be seen donning a maroon turban, a pair of sunglasses and a jacket. He was captured taking a walk on the streets carrying a bag as he covered his face with a white cloth.
NDTV has quoted sources as saying that videos revealed he left for Kurukshetra in Haryana from Amritsar and was headed for the national capital. He allegedly disembarked as a monk at a bus terminal yesterday. Since this morning, Delhi police have been on high alert as the Waris Punjab De leader is suspected to have entered the national capital. Teams of Delhi and Punjab police have been analysing CCTV video at the Inter State Bus Terminal near Delhi’s Kashmere Gate.
