Police sources said Sukhpreet was working closely with Amritpal in his organisation. Sukhpreet has also played an important role during the Ajnala police station’s violence.

Six policemen, including superintendent of police (SP) Jugraj Singh, were injured when a mob led-by Amritpal Singh had stormed the Ajnala police station on February 24. Amritpal was demanding the release of one of his associates Lovepreet Singh alias Toofan of Gurdaspur, who was arrested in a kidnapping and assault case. Amritpal and ten more were nominated in the kidnapping case.

The police had released Toofan next day. The police launched massive operation to nab Amritpal and his associates on March 18. Earlier, ten associates of Amritpal were arrested in the Ajnala violence case.

The court has sent all the ten accused to 14 days judicial custody.

Before this, the ten persons were arrested from Amritpal’s convoy with 12 illegal weapons and ammunition. They were booked in the arms recovery case in the Khalchian police station of Amritsar and were sent to four day police remand.
