One of those arrested was a 28-year-old male of Surrey, British Columbia
The Times of India reports “official documents” say Dalla injured in the arm
ONTARIO’S Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) announced on October 29 that it was investigating a shooting that took place in Milton a day earlier. The HRPS was contacted by Guelph Police in the early morning hours of October 28 after two males attended a hospital in Guelph. One of the males was treated and released for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound apparently suffered in Halton region. The other was not injured.
The HRPS Major Crime Bureau was investigating and both males had been arrested. A 25-year-old male of Halton Hills and a 28-year-old male of Surrey, British Columbia, had both been charged with ‘discharging firearm with intent.’ Both accused were held in custody pending a bail hearing.
The HRPS said that police are still actively investigating this occurrence and would like to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious or may have dash cam footage from Guelph Line north of Campbellville in Milton between midnight and 6 a.m. on October 28.
Now Indian media is reporting that their sources in New Delhi claim that Arshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, who was designated a terrorist by India, is likely to be one of those who were arrested by the HRPS.
Indian Police allege that Arsh Dalla is associated with the banned Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF).
India’s External Affairs Ministry had named Arsh Dalla as one of the alleged Khalistani terrorists for whom extradition requests have been made to Canada.
Meanwhile, Punjab Police have announced the arrest of two alleged members of Arsh Dalla’s gang, who were allegedly involved in the murder of a Sikh activist last month, from Kharar in Mohali.
The two were identified as Anmolpreet Singh alias Vishal, a resident of Bhadorh in Barnala and Navjot Singh alias Neetu, a resident of Nijjar Road in Kharar.
The state police claimed that preliminary investigations revealed that Arsh Dalla had asked Navjot to target Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau, who runs a YouTube channel under the name of “Hari Nau Talks”.
ON Tuesday, The Times of India reported that October’s shooting incident had left Dalla injured in the arm. It says that “Canada’s official documents” (which could mean that Indian intelligence has leaked the information) shows that “a cache of arms and ammunition, including a rifle, a shotgun, a pistol and two high-capacity magazines of 15 and 35 rounds were recovered from his premises.”
The newspaper reported that according to those documents, “Dalla and Singh arrived at the hospital in a Dodge Durango SUV. They told police that while driving on Guelph Line, north of Highway 401 in Milton, Region of Halton, an unknown vehicle drew up beside their SUV and several shots were fired into their vehicle, resulting in the gunshot wound to Dalla. Dalla had a non-life threatening gunshot wound to his right bicep, which was treated by hospital staff.”
The Times of India, quoting the documents, added: “Dalla and Singh were arrested for the offence of discharging a firearm with intent. Both were cautioned, given rights to counsel, and transported to central lock-up at Oakville police station. The accused’s clothing and phones were seized by police. Both accused were held in custody pending a bail hearing. The police sought their remand for three days.”
According to India Today: “In Canada, Dalla’s gang has been involved in violent clashes with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with whom he has a long-standing rivalry. In 2023, the Bishnoi gang reportedly broke into the Winnipeg home of Sukhdul Singh, alias Sukha Dunike, a close associate of Dalla, and shot him dead.”
