Amritpal Singh had formed his own army named AKF (Anandpur Khalsa Army) and therefore he arranged for many illegal weapons for his aides.
When Amritpal Singh was in Dubai, he was in close touch with Rode’s brother Jaswant. The radical preacher was known for asking his comrades to stay armed and he formed a new group called Anandpur Khalsa Army (AKF).

After the Ajnala clash, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had addressed the media and pointed out foreign funding including Pakistan in radical groups. During the conference, Mann had said, “Do you consider 1000 people, Punjab? It’s just a few people funded by foreign, by Pakistan…Their masters want to disturb Punjab.” However, no charges have been finalized yet. True Scoop News is yet to get official information from the Police and the government over the charges likely to be put on Amritpal Singh.
“An alert has been issued in Dehradun, Haridwar & Udhamsinghnagar districts of Uttarakhand as a precaution in view of the possibility of ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh entering the state. Intensive checking is being done on the borders of all 3 dists&in other areas,” Uttarakhand DGP said.
Union home minister Amit Shah, too, during a meeting with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Maan on March 2 discussed the issue and assured all help in the form of additional forces. A repost suggests that Avtar Singh Khanda, a UK-based Sikh radical and the vice-president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Mann), is a close associate of Khalistani terrorist Jagtar Singh Tara and acted as the “main handler of Amritpal Singh and the brains behind his meteoric rise”.
