CCTV footage shows ‘masked Amritpal’ walking in east Delhi

NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: Clips of CCTV footage said to be from 5.20pm on March 21 surfaced Tuesday purportedly showing fugitive Khalistan supporter Amritpal Singh and his companion Papalpreet Singh walking in an east Delhi market in disguise.
Delhi police have used identification software to compare the image of the man seen in the footage with Amritpal's photographs and the results have thrown a match. "But it cannot be said with certainty until he is caught and interrogated," a senior officer said.
The radical preacher remained at large and constantly on the move since Punjab police began on March 18 a widespread crackdown against him, his aides and the Waris Punjab De group he leads. Speculation swirled that Amritpal has crossed the India-Nepal border by now. Papalpreet is said to be Amritpal's mentor and allegedly has contacts in Pakistani spy agency ISI.
Punjab cops mum on Delhi CCTV footage of 'Amritpal'
The CCTV footage that surfaced on Tuesday shows a man, purported to be fugitive Khalistan supporter Amritpal Singh, walking in the Madhu Vihar area without a turban, long hair let loose and wearing a mask, jacket and sunglasses. A turbaned man, claimed to be Amritpal's companion Papalpreet Singh, is seen a couple of steps behind and carrying a bag slung on his shoulder.
On Monday, a selfie of the men showed up on social media, showing Amritpal holding a beverage can, wearing a maroon turban, jacket and sunglasses. His associate was in a sweatshirt. It's not clear where the photo was clicked. Punjab police refrained from making any statement about the CCTV footage and the photo. Several videos and photographs of Amritpal have appeared on social media since the crackdown. In one such video, he was seen pacing through a street in Haryana and speaking on the phone. Amritpal has remained elusive for the 11th day, with police in Punjab, Haryana and now Delhi only managing to catch him on cameras. He has given cops a narrow miss several times.
