Khalistan sympathiser and radical preacher Amritpal Singh, who was absconding for over a month, was arrested by the Punjab Police from Rode village in the state's Moga district on the morning of April 23. Notably, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a leading figure of the Khalistan movement who was killed during Operation Blue Star (1984), was also born in Rode.
