Delhi Special Commissioner of Police, HGS Dhaliwal said, “The 2 sharp shooters, Rajpreet Singh alias Raja alias Bamb and Virender Singh alias Vimmy of international terrorist/Gangstaer Arshdeep Singh’s are arrested by the Delhi Police on the main road towards Akshardham mandir, Mayur after exchange of fire.”
He also added that both of them had a task assigned by Arsh Dalla to assassinate singer Elly Mangat, attempted in October 2023 in Bathinda but failed as the target was not at home.
Earlier Arrests: 2 shooters Linked to Dalla and Failed Assassination Attempt
Last month, 2 shooters connected to Arsh Dalla were arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell. They were wanted in multiple cases by Delhi Police, Punjab Police, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The failed assassination attempt on singer Elly Mangat in October added to the list of criminal activities linked to Dalla’s network.
Killing of Khalistani Terrorist Sukhdul Singh in Winnipeg
In September, Sukhdul Singh, also known as Sukha Duneke, a Khalistani terrorist associated with Dalla’s gang, was killed in Winnipeg by unidentified assailants.
Deportation and Arrest of Dalla’s Close Aides
In August, two close aides of Dalla, Manpreet Singh Peeta and his brother Mandeep, were deported from the Philippines to India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested them for executing various plans at the behest of Arsh Dala in Punjab.
International Operations and Coordinated Raids
In September, the NIA, in coordination with state police forces, conducted raids at nearly 30 locations in Punjab and other regions, targeting associates of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Bambiha, and the listed terrorist Arshdeep Singh Dalla gangs. The operations aimed at dismantling the criminal network spanning across Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, and the National Capital Region.
These developments underscore the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to curb the activities of Khalistani terrorists and their associates operating on an international scale, particularly those linked to Arsh Dalla’s network.
