Connecting the dots of the massive chase that took place on Saturday, Punjab police said Amritpal switched his car and from the gurdwara took a bike. In another new photo, Amritpal purportedly can be seen on a motorised three-wheeler carrying his bike as well. This is so far the last photo of the radical Sikh leader. It is not known whether the bike ran out of fuel or developed any glitch owing to which Amritpal took the three-wheeler. The bike was found abandoned by the police on Wednesday.
