Jathedar Amritpal entered when the supporters could not cross the barricading. Guru Granth Sahib Ji's form was also there with Amritpal. Seeing this, the policemen also stopped.

Timeline from Toofan's arrest to the attack by Amritpal's supporters, after which Amritpal gave a warning to the police

 

February 16: Ajnala police station registered a case of abducting and assaulting Varinder Singh of Chamkaur Sahib. The case was against the head of 'Waris Punjab De' organization Amritpal Singh, Lovepreet Singh Toofan and close ones.

 

February 18: Police arrested Lovepreet Toofan from Gurdaspur. Amritpal warned the Punjab government and the police that he would take action if his accomplice was not released within 24 hours.

 

February 22: The warning was repeated and Amritpal was instructed to reach Ajnala with his supporters at 11 am on February 23.

 

23 February: Amritpal supporters started gathering at 10.30 am. The number was less so the police tried to stop. Then Amritpal Singh reached Ajnala from village Jallupur Kheda. In half an hour, the situation became such that the police were attacked with swords. A total of 6 people including a DSP were injured. The police only resorted to batons for rescue. Ajnala police post came under the control of Amritpal and his supporters.

 

Officer said – If we had used force then the question would have arisen

Police officers are saying that they retreated after seeing the palanquin of Guru Granth Sahib. Couldn't even retaliate. The police never take weapons even to the Gurudwara, because Sri Guru Granth Sahib is kept there. If we had taken action during the attack on the police station, the question would have arisen.
