Indian police apprehend Sikh separatist leader after extensive manhunt.

Indian police have arrested Amritpal Singh, a Sikh separatist leader who has revived calls for an independent Sikh homeland and the secession of India’s northern Punjab state, which has a history of violent insurgency. Singh had been on the run since last month after capturing national attention in February, when hundreds of his supporters stormed a police station in Ajnala, a town in Punjab state, with wooden batons, swords and guns to demand the release of a jailed aide. Singh's speeches have become increasingly popular among supporters of the Khalistan movement, which is banned in India.
