According to News18 reports, Amritpal Singh’s mother Balwinder Kaur said after his arrest, “He is a lion, he surrendered like a lion.” Meanwhile, his father maintained that his son was innocent, and is fighting against the drug menace in Punjab.

As quoted by India Today, Amritpal’s father Tarsem Singh said, “I request Singh Sangat that the mission of my son must be carried forward. My son is fighting a battle to curb the drug menace. We got the information from TV news and he was not in contact with his family.”
Tarsem showed his solidarity to “everyone who has been harassed by the Punjab Police”, and pointed out that his son Amritpal still dons the Sikh attire. The family of the Khalistani leader is currently fighting a legal battle against the authorities and the charges filed against him.
Amritpal Singh’s family further said that they got to know through the media that he has surrendered and they believed that till now, he was in police custody. Reportedly, the Khalistani leader was not in touch with his family for several weeks.
Amritpal Singh had remained on the run after the Punjab Police launched a crackdown against him and his Waris Punjab De supporters, who stormed the Ajnala Police station in February. Amritpal was wanted on the charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, and creating disturbances in the nation.
