The National Security Act (NSA) has been invoked against him.Police have also arrested four people Manpreet Singh, Gurdeep Singh, Harpreet Singh and Gurbhej Singh for facilitating Amritpal Singh's escape.IG Gill said the police have also arrested and detained Kulwant Singh Raoke and Gurinderpal Singh under the NSA.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
