Police launch search operation for Singh in Rajasthan
Notably, Singh, the leader of the pro-Khalistan outfit Waris Punjab De, remains untraceable as the police search for him in Punjab and the neighboring state of Rajasthan. He escaped the police's net on March 18 by changing his appearance and switching vehicles. Meanwhile, Singh's close aide Papalpreet Singh was arrested in Punjab's Hoshiarpur on Monday and was sent to a jail in Assam's Dibrugarh.
