Investigation agencies probing Amritpal Singh’s case have found that Avtar Singh Khanda, who has been arrested for pulling down the Indian flag at the embassy in London, is the same person who had been a “godfather” to Waris Punjab De leader.

Khanda, the agencies told The Indian Express, is the one who “groomed” Amritpal before the latter reached Punjab.

Highly placed sources said that Khanda’s father Kulwant Singh Khukrana was a terrorist of Khalistan Liberation Force.

“Avtar is the one who patronised and groomed Amritpal before he reached India,” a source said.

The investigating agencies are also analysing videos of Khanda in which he is emphasising that the “legacy that Deep Sidhu started has to be continued”.
