Amritpal Singh flown to Dibrugarh jail

Dibrugarh (Assam): A special flight carrying radical preacher Amritpal Singh from Punjab landed at Dibrugarh airport on Sunday, officials said.

According to official sources, Singh was brought aboard a special flight from Bathinda after his arrest by Punjab Police during early Sunday morning.

He will be taken to the town's central jail which has been converted into a high security jail ever since some of Singh's associates were brought here to be lodged.

"His flight landed at 2:20 pm. After necessary formalities, he will be taken to Dibrugarh Central Jail in a security convoy," a senior official told PTI.

Dibrugarh Traffic Police has been alerted for road clearance from the airport to the prison, a 15-km stretch. A special team is in place along with policemen in plain clothes.
