He often puts 'Engineer' before his name on social media pages. | |
His wife is a police officer assigned to Nagaland, having previously served in Jalandhar Rural. | |
His sister and brother-in-law are both class 1 officers in Haryana. | |
In 2020, he was expelled by the SAD for allegedly deceiving party workers and local farmers, though no police case was filed. | |
His 2022 candidacy announcement by AAP faced criticism from the party's founding members in Punjab. | |
During the election campaign, protesters from Bharti Kisan Union Ekta Ugrahan's Sangat block demonstrated outside his house for three days over alleged non-payment issues from 2017 surveys. | |
In the same year, complaints were lodged with the Bathinda inspector general of police about a company supposedly operated by Amit that collected money from youth. | |
There were calls for a review of his candidature by Arvind Kejriwal following these accusations, which Amit refuted citing lack of evidence. | |
