Submit to process of law, says Punjab DGP as radical preacher Amritpal continues to be on run

The Hindu  

Those wanted by the law should submit to the process of law and the hard-earned peace in the state would not be allowed to be disturbed, Punjab Police chief Gaurav Yadav said Monday as radical preacher Amritpal Singh continues to be on the run. The Punjab police chief further said that hard-earned peace in the state would not be allowed to be disturbed. "Whosoever mischievous elements, who have the support of ISI, and are trying to disturb peace in Punjab, their designs will not be allowed to succeed," Mr. Yadav said, adding that the "situation is quite normal here in Punjab". Whosoever is needed by the law, should submit to the process of law and everybody has a legal right and there is a legal process, Mr. Yadav said, apparently referring to Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal who has been hoodwinking the police since March 18 when a crackdown was launched against him and his aides.
