The Deputy Commissioner of Ramban and Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir said that the arms licenses issued to two bodyguards of Amritpal Singh have been cancelled.

Among them are the names of retired Constable Varinder Singh of 19 Sikh Regiment and Talwinder Singh of 23 Armed Punjab. Earlier, Varinder was arrested by the Punjab Police. The license of Talwinder Singh (Tarn Taran), posted in Amritpal's security, is from Ramban (Jammu Kashmir). While Varinder Singh's (Tarn Taran) license is from Kishtwar (Jammu and Kashmir).

The Punjab Police on Thursday detained Amritpal's social media handler Gurinder Singh. He had reached Amritsar Airport to fly to London. It is worth mentioning here that after the Ajnala incident, the Punjab Police had identified the 10 companions of Amritpal Singh, who stay with him 24 hours a day armed with weapons.

The police had issued notices to various district administrations seeking details of the arms. After this, the process of canceling their licenses has been initiated. These licenses were issued by the administration for self-defense, so that it cannot be used by security personnel.
