Arrest of Putin abroad would mean 'declaration of war': Russia's ex-president

 

Russia's ex-president Dmitry Medvedev has warned that attempts to arrest Vladimir Putin abroad after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant against him would be seen by Moscow as a "declaration of war".

Medvedev, who served as president between 2008 and 2012, has made increasingly hawkish speeches since Putin sent troops to Ukraine, repeatedly issuing nuclear threats.

Late on Wednesday, he said Russian weapons would hit a country if it arrested Putin.

The ICC, based in The Hague, last week announced an arrest warrant for the Russian leader, accused of deporting Ukrainian children.

"Let's imagine -- it's clear that this is a situation that will never happen -- but nevertheless let's imagine it does," the Putin ally said.

"The current head of a nuclear state arrives on the territory of, say, Germany, and is arrested. What is this? A declaration of war against the Russian Federation."

Medvedev said that if this happened "all of our means, rockets and others, will fly on the Bundestag, in the Chancellor's Office and so on."

Medvedev -- who is deputy chairman of Russia's security council -- said the ICC's decision will make dire relations with the West plunge further.

His comments came two days after Russia opened a criminal investigation into ICC prosecutor Karim Khan and several other ICC judges, saying their decision was "unlawful".

The Hague-based court had also issued a warrant against Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights.

On Wednesday, the ICC's legislative body said it regretted "threats" against the tribunal over its warrant.

"The presidency of the assembly regrets these attempts to hinder international efforts to ensure accountability for acts that are prohibited under general international law," it said in a statement.

Punjab Police traced the motorcycle on which Amritpal Singh fled

 The motorcycle and car on which ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief Amritpal Singh fled had been recovered by Punjab Police. The abandoned two-wheeler was discovered today in the Darapur area, which is 45 kilometres from Jalandhar.

 Swarnadeep Singh, SSP for Jalandhar, has also verified this development. A video of Amritpal escaping on the bike has also surfaced. Police have not, however, commented on this.

 The Khalistan proponent managed to give the security forces the slip after changing his vehicle on Saturday when the latter had launched a crackdown against him and his outfit. He was initially in his Mercedes vehicle but later switched to a Brezza SUV during police action.

 

The SUV has been seized from Manna and a .315 bore rifle, some swords and a walkie-talkie set were recovered from it.

Quoting a local eyewitness, ANI stated that the radical Sikh leader was in the village with his companions on 18 March. “He changed clothes at the local gurudwara, had food and then left on a motorcycle.”

 

Manpreet Singh alias Manna, Gurdeep Singh alias Deepa, Harpreet Singh alias Happy, and Gurbhej Singh alias Bheja have all been apprehended for aiding him in escaping, according to the police.

It was revealed during their interrogation that he visited a gurdwara in the Nangal Ambian village in Jalandhar. He stayed in the gurudwara for an hour by holding the granthi hostage at gunpoint.

A case has been filed against these individuals under the Arms Act, according to Punjab’s IGP Sukhchain Singh Gill. He also established that Amritpal fled after changing clothes at Gurudwara Nangal Ambien.

He proclaimed that 154 individuals have now either been detained or arrested in connection with this matter. Furthermore, a total of 12 weapons, including rifles and handguns, have been seized.

Police also questioned Amritpal’s mother for about an hour in Jallupur Kheda village of Amritsar. In addition, his wife Kirandeep Kaur has also been investigated. The information about the probe has not been made public yet. 

Kaur is a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) and is reportedly a part of the Babbar Khalsa. She generates money for the terror group and provides funding for the Khalistan Movement. Moreover, she and five other people were arrested in 2020 for soliciting donations for the same outfit.

 

He has been charged under the National Security Act, and a non-bailable warrant has been issued for his arrest. Authorities have also begun looking into his connections with the Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI.
