Amritpal Singh Mehron, a radical Sikh leader, was arrested at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi after being deported from the UAE. He has been remanded to police custody for five days in connection with the murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, who he allegedly strangled on June 10, 2022, for creating content he considered immoral. Authorities have labeled his actions as 'unauthorized moral policing.'

Mehron has a troubling criminal history, with at least three cases related to moral policing, including intimidation and murder. His controversial actions include vandalizing statues near the Golden Temple in Amritsar and issuing threats to political figures. Despite leading a self-styled radical organization, Qaum De Rakhe, and building a following on social media, he has never achieved financial independence, with his only known job being a brief period in cement sales. His political ambitions were evident when he contested the 2022 assembly elections but was unsuccessful. Residents of his village describe him as having undergone a radical transformation after a failed stint abroad.
