The Canadian Police have arrested Arshdeep Singh, also known as Arsh Dalla, a Khalistani terrorist and one of India’s most-wanted criminals in connection with a recent shootout in the neighbouring country last month, sources told India Today TV.
Sources from Indian security agencies have confirmed receiving information about Dalla’s arrest, which occurred after his suspected involvement in a armed confrontation on October 27 or 28 in Milton town.
According to Indian intelligence agencies, Arsh Dalla, who is wanted for various criminal activities in India, has been living in Canada with his wife. Canadian law enforcement agencies, particularly the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS), are investigating the recent shootout.
Indian authorities are closely monitoring developments and coordinating with Canadian officials for further details.
Dalla was the acting chief of the Khalistani Tiger Force and was seen as the successor of slain terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
In September this year, Dalla took responsibility for the murder of Congress leader, Baljinder Singh Balli, who was shot dead at his residence in Punjab’s Moga district. In his post, Dalla claimed that Baljinder Singh Balli had ruined his future and forced him into the gangsters’ world. He also said that the Congress leader was behind his mother’s police custody, which motivated him to seek revenge.
Arsh Dalla, a wanted person on the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) terrorist list, has been allegedly orchestrating criminal activities in Punjab from his base in Canada for the past three to four years. A native of Moga, Dalla is accused of multiple terrorist killings in Punjab.
Punjab Police had already busted several modules backed by Dalla with the arrest of his close aides and recovering IEDs, hand-grenades and other arms and ammunition.
