MP Amritpal Singh's grandmother passes away

Charan Kaur, grandmother of Khadoor Sahib constituency MP Amritpal Singh, passed away from this world on Sunday. She was 85 years old and had been battling illness for a long time.

Her mortal remains have been kept at their residence in village Jallupur Khera of Amritsar district for people to pay their final respects.

Amritpal, lodged inside Dibrugarh jail in Assam, had connected with his ailing grandmother through a screen a few days ago. This interaction was arranged under permission received from an Amritsar court.

Amritpal's legal representatives had filed a petition before the court to check on the grandmother's condition. Following court orders, a duration of about ten minutes was granted between the two.

Following the Ajnala police station dispute, in connection with a case registered on February 24, 2023, the police had taken Amritpal Singh into custody on April 23, 2023. At present, he is lodged in Assam under the National Security Act (NSA). Nothing has yet been proved in court.
