The Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two shooters of the Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla gang on the basis of secret information, as reported by the news agency ANI on Thursday. One live hand grenade, one pistol, and five live cartridges were recovered from them. According to the officials, the team of CI, Special Cell, intercepted the duo on Outer Ring Road, and on being asked to surrender, Krishan fired one round towards the police team.
The second gangster took out one live hand grenade from his bag, but before he could pull the safety pin, they were overpowered by the team. A case under relevant sections of the law has been registered, and further investigation is underway, the officials said.
Last month, Khalistani terrorist Sukhdul Singh, also known as Sukha Duneke -- who was part of the gang operated by Canada-based gangster Arsh Dalla, has been killed in the Canadian city of Winnipeg by unidentified people.
In August, two close aides of Arsh Dalla, Manpreet Singh Peeta and his brother Mandeep, were deported from the Philippines to India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) later arrested them. Personnel of the Punjab police were also present at the Delhi airport at that time. Manpreet had executed many plans at the behest of Arsh Dala in Punjab while staying in the Philippines. This was after two of his associates were deported to India days after Indian agencies succeeded in bringing Sachin, a relative of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who had been absconding after the sensational murder of Moosewala in May 2022, to India.
Wanted in Sidhu Moose Wala Murder case, Sachin Bishnoi, an aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was brought to India from Azerbaijan. This development comes amid an ongoing diplomatic row between Canada and India over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged the potential involvement of Indian government agents and expelled a senior Indian diplomat.
India rejected the charges as absurd and motivated and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move. India on Wednesday advised all its citizens living in Canada and those contemplating travelling there to exercise utmost caution in view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes in the North American country.
