The Punjab government will not renew the National Security Act (NSA) against Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh. This decision allows him to face trial in regular court for the 2023 Ajnala police station attack. Singh, currently detained, is expected to be released in April 2025. He will face charges related to the Ajnala incident and other cases of communal rioting and separatism. Intelligence sources have raised concerns about this decision, suggesting it may not align with state interests. They warn that Singh's release could impact stability in Punjab ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
