Indian government said Thursday (Nov. 14) that it was seeking to get proclaimed Khalistani terrorist and separatist Arshdeep Dalla extradited following his arrest in Canada. &nbsp;Dalla was one of the two persons detained by Canada police on October 28 in connection with a shooting. Arshdeep was designated a terrorist by New Delhi in January 2023. India has sought his extradition on several occasions but to no avail.

"We have seen media reports circulating since 10 November on the arrest in Canada of proclaimed offender Arsh Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, the de-facto chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force. Canadian print and visual media have widely reported on the arrest. We understand that the Ontario Court has listed the case for hearing," the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

The MEA statement added that Dalla is wanted in India for over 50 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion, and terror acts. A red-corner notice was also issued against him in May 2022, said the Indian government.
