Punjab Police probes Tinder profile suspected to be linked to Amritpal
The Faridkot district police have written to various social media platforms, including the popular dating app Tinder, seeking details of accounts suspected to be linked to radical Sikh leader and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh. Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Pragya Singh said on Saturday that a communication was sent to the companies last week as a part of its investigation in the murder case of Sikh activist Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau, in which the jailed MP is a key accused. Hari Nau, who had once been a close associate of Amritpal, was shot dead in October last year, allegedly at the behest of the incarcerated leader for speaking out against him through a Facebook page 'Hari Nau Talks'. 'During the probe, social media accounts, including Tinder, suspected to be related to the accused, Amritpal, were traced. Screenshots of these suspected accounts were attached in the communications sent separately to different companies. Any further statement will be made after analysing the data,' said the SSP. An official, seeking anonymity, said the investigators came across screenshots of a Tinder account with the user name 'Amrit Sandhu' where sexually explicit messages were sent. Sources said that the district police authorities have sought from Tinder and other platforms, details furnished by the subscribers for the said accounts, IP address logs, phone number, location details etc. 'These details will throw light on the possible reasons behind the targeted killing of Hari Nau,' said the source. Soon after Hari Nau's killing, Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav had stated that the activist had been killed at the behest of Amritpal. The MP's father Tarsem Singh, however, alleged that attempts were being made at 'character assassination' of Amritpal.

Left swipe on loyalty: Dating app clue in WPD aide killingPunjab Police seek details from Tinder in murder probe linked to Amritpal Singh.
Bathinda: Punjab Police are seeking details from dating app Tinder about an account connected allegedly to Khadoor Sahib's jailed MP and Waris Punjab De leader Amritpal Singh, in connection with the 2024 killing of his party aide Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau. Faridkot police, who lead the investigation, believe the Tinder profile — registered under the name Amrit Sandhu — may be tied to the radical, self-styled, separatist preacher imprisoned in Assam's Dibrugarh under the National Security Act. Hari Nau was shot on Oct 9 last year while returning from a village gurdwara on his motorcycle. Senior superintendent of police Pragya Jain has onfirmed that the Tinder account emerged during forensic examination of digital evidence. Police have requested Tinder formally to provide them with subscriber details, including the user's full name, date of birth, phone number, location history, IP logs dating back to Jan 1, 2019, as well as photographs, linked email addresses, contacts, and message records. The request was submitted in late May, but authorities claim to have received no response from the platform, so far. The investigation took a turn in Nov 2024 when police arrested Anmolpreet Singh and Navjot Singh, alleged operatives of Canadian-based gangster-turned-terrorist Arsh Dalla, who was named formally in the case, while Amritpal Singh was also added as a suspect on Jan 7 this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?
