Kirandeep has been living in India and her visa expires in July. She was recently stopped at the Amritsar airport while trying to board a flight to London.
Khalistan supporter and separatist Amritpal Singh -- arrested today after being on the run for more than a month -- had not been able to flee India as he thought the police would then move in to arrest his wife. Top sources in Punjab government said Singh's wife Kirandeep Kaur, a UK national currently in India, was placed under surveillance by the Punjab police since Amritpal Singh went underground in March as a crackdown was started against him.
Kirandeep has been living in India and her visa expires in July. She was recently stopped at the Amritsar airport while trying to board a flight to London.
Kirandeep Kaur came to India a week before her wedding in February. She was also questioned last month along with Amritpal Singh's mother in Amritsar's Jallupur Khera village.
Amritpal Singh wanted his wife to get safely out of the country first. He was apprehensive that if he skipped the country, she would be arrested and blamed for his escape, sources said.
