NIA chargesheets Canada-based Arshdeep Singh and three others

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday chargesheeted Canada-based designated terrorist Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Dala and three of his aides.

A special NIA court in the capital filed chargesheets against Arsh Dala and his aides Harjeet Singh alias Harry Maur, Ravinder Singh alias Harry Rajpura and Rajeev Kumar alias Sheela.

In a statement, the federal agency said that the move is a "big leap" in its efforts to destroy the sleeper cells operated by Dala to carry out terror attacks in various parts of Punjab and Delhi.


According to the NIA investigations, Dala's three aides were running a major terror gangster syndicate in the country on the directions of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) terrorist Dala.

Harry Maur and Harry Rajpura were operating as sleeper cells and were being harboured by another aide Rajeev Kumar, and the trio had planned to carry out a series of terror attacks on Dala's directions and with funds received from him, the NIA statement added.

Harry Maur and Harry Rajpura were the Arsh Dala gang's shooters and had the task to carry out targeted killings. Rajeev Kumar alias Sheela received funds from Dala to shelter the shooters, the NIA stated.
