Security incidents in Amritsar, Punjab

Overview

Law enforcement in Amritsar has conducted several operations targeting different types of criminal and political activity. In late September, police arrested two individuals for allegedly promoting pro-Khalistan slogans and writing ‘Referendum 2020’ in public areas. Authorities stated the suspects were allegedly motivated by financial promises and connections to US-based individuals associated with the banned organization Sikhs for Justice.

In late October, police in the Kathunangal border region arrested a man for possession of an illegal pistol. This arrest, following an informant tip, was part of a broader security campaign involving increased patrolling ahead of the Diwali festival and the Baba Buddha Sahib Ji fair. Officials are investigating the suspect's alleged involvement in the illegal sale of weapons.
