Gurugram: The police have arrested a woman named Baljit Kaur in Haryana for allegedly providing refuge to the absconding Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh and his associate Papalpreet Singh.

The Waris Punjab De leader and his accomplices were given a place to stay at Kaur's residence in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana.

The top cop said Tejinder Singh Gill displayed weapons on social media while not holding an arms licence.
