Singh and his supporters have been accused of attempted murder and attacking police officials, and his campaign for a separate Sikh homeland has brought back memories of a separatist insurgency in the 1980s. We provide a detailed account of the events leading up to his arrest, including the dramatic car chase that was live-streamed by some of his associates, the government crackdown on internet services and movement of people, and the protests held by Sikh groups in Canada and San Francisco.
