Reaffirming its commitment to ensuring justice is served as per the directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police in coordination with Central Agencies has successfully deported fugitive Amritpal Singh, a resident of Village Bhoma in Batala, from Austria to face charges in numerous heinous crimes. The latter has been landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi at 7am on Friday, and has been taken into custody by the Batala Police.
“After tireless efforts by @PunjabPoliceInd in coordination with central agencies, Amritpal Singh resident of Village Bhoma, PS Ghuman, has been successfully deported from #Austria to #India to face charges in numerous serious criminal cases,” informed Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav in a post on his X handle (formerly Twitter).
Pertinently, accused Amritpal Singh is a proclaimed offender (PO) staying illegally in Austria.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said that the deported accused has been involved in various heinous crimes, including murder, attempted murder, drug offences, and violations under the Arms Act. His deportation is a significant step toward ensuring justice for the victims, he added.
The DGP commended the strenuous efforts of the entire team of Batala Police led by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Batala Suhail Qasim Mir and Internal Security Wing of Punjab Police for bringing fugitive Amritpal Singh back to India to face justice.
Sharing more details, SSP Batala Suhail Qasim Mir said the accused Amritpal Singh, who was declared PO in several cases, had fled to Austria via Dubai and Serbia in 2022, and had been evading arrest since then. The latter had also applied for political asylum there, he added.
“After sustained efforts and cooperation with the international authorities, Punjab Police has ensured his repatriation to India to face justice,” said the SSP.
