Kathmandu, March 27
Department of Immigration has alerted its offices, particularly those at airports to prevent Amritpal Singh, a radical preacher from Punjab, India who could flee to a third country using Nepali territory either on his own passport or a fake passport.
DG Jhalak Ram Adhikari told THT that Indian Embassy had written to his office yesterday seeking his office's help in stopping 'Khalistan separatist' Amritpal Singh from fleeing to a third country.
Punjab government has launched a massive manhunt against the radical preacher who has been hiding since March 18. Indian Embassy has provided the photograph of the Punjabi fugitive and all details about him. The embassy also has flagged Nepali authorities that Amritpal Singh could flee to a third country using his own passport or a fake passport.
Adhikari said that all passengers who wanted to go abroad using Nepal's airport would be screened at the airport and people like Singh who were under the DoI's surveillance can not flee. "
