Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla, a close associate of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was recently arrested in connection with a violent shootout that occurred in Milton, Canada. Dalla, who is believed to have played a key role in organizing and executing various criminal activities linked to the Khalistani movement, was apprehended by law enforcement officials after an extensive investigation into the incident.

The shootout in Milton, a suburban area near Toronto, had raised concerns over the growing presence of violent extremism among certain groups in Canada, particularly those associated with the Khalistani cause. Dalla’s arrest is seen as a significant development in ongoing efforts by Canadian authorities to crack down on individuals involved in organized crime, terrorism, and violent extremism.

Arsh Dalla, who had long been a fugitive, is considered a key figure in the network surrounding Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Khalistani activist and suspected terrorist. Nijjar, who was allegedly involved in various acts of violence and terror across India and abroad, was killed earlier in 2023, further escalating tensions between India and Canada. Dalla’s arrest marks a critical step in disrupting the operations of Khalistani extremists operating in Canada and internationally.

Canadian authorities have faced increasing pressure from India to address the activities of Khalistani sympathizers on Canadian soil, with both countries pushing for greater cooperation in countering terrorism and criminal networks. Dalla’s capture is expected to further intensify these diplomatic discussions, as both nations seek to clamp down on individuals and groups promoting violence under the banner of the Khalistani movement. As of now, Dalla faces multiple charges related to the Milton shootout, and further investigations are underway to uncover more details about his involvement in terrorist activities.
