The Punjab government has extended the suspension of mobile internet and SMS services till Tuesday noon as part of a crackdown on Waris Punjab De members and its leader Khalistani sympathiser Amritpal Singh.

Singh, who is wanted for barging into Ajnala police station near Amritsar with his supporters and demanding the release of a member on February 23, had escaped the police net when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district.

Police speculate that the incident could be backed by Pakistan, claiming they might have an "ISI angle." They suspect foreign spending as well.

Punjab IGP Sukhchain Singh Gill on Monday told reporters that the situation is stable and that six criminal cases had been registered against a few "Waris Punjab De" elements.

According to Gill, 144 elements that attempted to disturb peace and harmony in Punjab have been rounded up and arrested. Around 78 of them were arrested on the first day, 34 on Day 2 and two others last night. Around 10 weapons were recovered, Gill said.

Police on Sunday held flag marches and searches across Punjab, arresting 112 supporters and shifting some of them to a jail in Assam in an IAF aircraft, in what is said to be a coordinated operation between the AAP-led Punjab government, BJP government in Assam and the Centre.

The transfer has been done under the National Security Act which allows persons arrested to be kept in jail in any part of the country.
