India renews its push for extradition of Nijjar aide
Hindustan Times
|November 15, 2024
India said on Thursday that it will renew a request made to Canada in 2023 for the extradition of Khalistani radical and designated terrorist Arshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla following reports of his arrest in that country.
Dalla is among more than two dozen criminals and terrorists for whom India has submitted extradition requests to Canada. External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal noted there have been media reports since 10 November about the arrest in Canada of Dalla, a proclaimed offender or fugitive and the de-facto chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF).
"Canadian print and visual media have widely reported on the arrest. We understand that the Ontario court has listed the case for hearing," Jaiswal said.
