Amritpal Singh Moves Punjab & Haryana High Court Challenging NSA Proceedings Against Him

Jailed head of Waris Punjab De and Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha MP Amritpal Singh, who is lodged in a prison in Assam's Dibrugarh district under the National Security Act, challenged his detention under the NSA in the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday.

Singh, detained in Dibrugarh Jail since April 2023, argues that his preventive detention is unlawful and extreme. The head of the "pro-Khalistani" outfit, Waris Punjab De, is also accused in the Ajnala Police Station attack.

The detention order was initially issued in March 2023 following a provocative speech. Singh's plea claims his detention is based on social media posts with no significant impact on Punjab's security.
