On January 7, 2025, authorities placed the family of independent MP Amritpal Singh under house arrest to prevent their participation in the ‘Quomi Insaaf Morcha’ protest. The protest, which demands the release of Sikh prisoners, was planned for the day. To maintain law and order during the demonstration, a significant police presence was established outside the residence to ensure no disturbances occurred.
The house arrest came as part of security measures to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region. The police have also deployed additional forces across sensitive areas to avoid clashes between protesters and security personnel. The protest has attracted widespread attention and is likely to have political ramifications.
