A court in Amritsar has ordered that imprisoned MP Amritpal Singh be allowed a ten‑minute video conversation with his ailing grandmother.
The Amritsar court issued an order permitting Member of Parliament Amritpal Singh, who is currently detained in Dibrugarh jail in Assam, to speak with his seriously ill grandmother via video link. The permission allows a maximum duration of ten minutes for the conversation.
The court's decision addresses a humanitarian request filed on behalf of the MP, citing the urgent need for family contact given the grandmother's deteriorating health. The video call will be facilitated under the supervision of jail authorities to ensure compliance with the stipulated time limit.
While the ruling does not affect the ongoing legal proceedings against the MP, it underscores the judiciary's willingness to accommodate personal circumstances within the confines of custodial regulations.
