Waris Punjab De chief’s wife, Kirandeep Kaur, was stopped by immigration officials at the Amritsar airport three days before his arrest, officials said.

Kaur was sent home to Jallupur Khera in the Amritsar district after being questioned by the police.

She has been stopped from leaving the country. She was neither detained nor arrested. Based on the statement given by Senior Superintendent of Police (Amritsar Rural) Satinder Singh, it appears that someone, presumably a woman, was stopped in relation to a case and needed to be questioned.

Kaur’s visa for a limited period in India is about to expire, officials told IANS.
