Waris Punjab De chief- Amritpal Singh attempted to form a jathebandi called 'Anandpur Khalsa Fauj'(AKF).

At this shooting range, he was training his aides for setting up his militia, the ‘Anandpur Khalsa Fauj’ (AKF). He has been training youth in handling and loading firearms to recruit them in the AKF.

He has been reported to have close links to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence and terror groups, and is reported to have received training from the same. He has also been reported to have been raising his own army and 'human bomb squads' consisting of brainwashed youth as suicide bombers.
