The police have recovered the Mercedes SUV, the Maruti Breeza and the Bajaj Platina that the Khalistani leader used during his getaway.
Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh changed five vehicles in 12 hours to escape arrest, the police said today, as the hunt for him across Punjab entered Day 6.
The Punjab Police launched a massive operation to arrest Amritpal Singh on Saturday, just weeks after his supporters broke into a police station with swords and guns for the release of one of his aides.
On the day of the crackdown, the self-styled preacher was seen inside a Mercedes SUV before jumping into a Maruti Breeza in Jalandhar's Shahkot area. He apparently changed his clothes in the car, as CCTV footage accessed by NDTV shows him in a shirt instead of robes.
Another changeover took at Nangal Ambiyan where Amritpal Singh got on a Bajaj Platina motorcycle with one of his aides, identified as Pappal Preet. When the bike ran out of fuel, he got on a diesel-run three-wheeler in Darapur along with the bike and his associate.
