DIBRUGARH, Nov 15: Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh could not attend his grandmother's last rites despite being granted one-day parole by a court, his lawyer alleged on Saturday.
His lawyer, Karamvir Singh Pannu, alleged that Dibrugarh Central Jail authorities refused to accept a revised application seeking a change in the parole date after the family decided to postpone the last rites to November 20.
An Amritsar court had granted Singh one-day parole on November 14 to attend the last rites of his grandmother, Charan Kaur. However, jail authorities said there was insufficient time to make arrangements to take him from Dibrugarh to Punjab, following which he could not attend the ceremony.
The family fixed November 20 for the last rites and November 22 for religious prayers.
Pannu said the legal team would approach the court again on Monday, seeking parole for the new date. He said they would move the High Court and the Supreme Court if required.
Singh has been lodged in Dibrugarh Central Jail since April 2023.
