Canada court grants bail to gangster Arsh Dalla in shootout case; is linked to over 70 FIRs in India

PTC Web Desk: A Canadian court has granted bail to gangster Arshdeep Singh Gill, also known as Arsh Dalla, in connection with a shooting incident in the city of Milton, Ontario, on October 28. The court set his bail at 30,000 Canadian dollars (approximately Rs 18.11 lakh).

Arsh Dalla, a key figure in the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), was arrested in Canada following a shootout in which he sustained a gunshot wound to his hand. His accomplice, Gurjant Singh, was also injured in the incident. The police in Canada have framed 11 charges against Arsh Dalla in relation to this event.


The shootout is believed to be linked to the ongoing violence and criminal activities associated with the Khalistani movement. Arsh Dalla was involved in leading several operations for the KTF, an extremist group that has been active in both India and Canada.

In India, Dalla has more than 70 FIRs filed against him, including charges related to murder, extortion, and terrorism. The Indian government had declared him a terrorist in 2022. He has also been implicated in several high-profile criminal cases involving violent acts, including the murder of those connected to the Khalistani movement, and has been linked to organised drug and arms trafficking.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) in India has confirmed Dalla’s involvement in a range of terrorist activities, including extortion for funding terror operations, attempting murder, and inciting communal violence. Besides, Dalla is known to have close ties with Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed in Canada earlier this year. Following Nijjar's death, Dalla took over the operations of the KTF.

The Canadian authorities have been under pressure from India to extradite Dalla, but diplomatic tensions between the two countries have hindered the exchange of information, complicating the legal proceedings. The next hearing for the case is scheduled for February 24, 2025.
