After India's request, Nepal puts fugitive Amritpal on surveillance list

Nepal has put fugitive radical preacher Amritpal Singh, who is believed to be hiding in the country, on its surveillance list after India requested it not to allow him to flee to a third country, PTI reported.

In a written request, the Indian embassy in Nepal has also requested to arrest Amritpal if he attempts to escape using an Indian passport or any other fake passport, PTI said quoting officials. It was suspected that he had entered Nepal and was hiding somewhere around.

"We have received a written note along with a copy of his passport from the (Indian) embassy suspecting that Amritpal Singh might have entered Nepal," said Kamal Prasad Pandey, the Information Officer at the Department.
