Canadian authorities have arrested Arshdeep Singh, also known as Arsh Dalla, a prominent Khalistani Supporter linked to one of India’s most-wanted lists, following a shootout in Milton, Canada, on October 27 and 28. According to media reports, Dalla is a key figure in the Khalistani Tiger Force and is suspected of continuing the operations of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, another significant figure in the Khalistani movement.
In May, India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed charges against Dalla and three of his associates, accusing them of orchestrating a large-scale terror-gangster network across India. The arrest underscores the growing concerns about transnational terrorism and gangster activity linked to separatist movements. Dalla’s capture is seen as a significant development in curbing the spread of extremist networks with international influence.
