Description
A manhunt for radical Sikh preacher, Amritpal Singh, enters its second day after authorities shut mobile internet across Punjab state and arrested 78 of his supporters. Amritpal Singh rose to prominence in recent months demanding the creation of Khalistan, a separate Sikh homeland.
Punjab -- with about 58 percent Sikhs and 39 percent Hindus -- was rocked by a violent separatist movement for Khalistan in the 1980s and early 1990s when thousands of people died. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
