Amritpal crackdown: Rifle, live cartridges found in abandoned car in Jalandhar village

Chandigarh, Mar 19 (PTI) As radical preacher Amritpal Singh continued to be on the run, Punjab Police on Sunday came across an abandoned car in Jalandhar district with a rifle and several dozens of live cartridges inside it.

Police seized the ammunition and said the black-coloured multi-utility car was most likely part of Amritpal's convoy on Saturday. The same car was also captured a day earlier in a video, they said.

A rifle, 57 live cartridges, a sword, and a registration number plate were among the articles recovered from the vehicle, police said.
