NEW DELHI (Diya TV) — India has shared a list of seven gang members with Canada, intensifying efforts to combat organized crime and terrorism linked to transnational gangs. The list includes high-profile names such as Arsh Dalla and Goldy Brar, both of whom are allegedly involved in criminal activities that extend across borders.
The move follows recent diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, which escalated after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allegations regarding India’s involvement in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader. India’s government has consistently rejected these claims and has sought to underscore its concerns over the presence of organized crime linked to terrorism within Canada.
The list shared with Canadian authorities includes gangsters who are accused of a range of offenses, including extortion, drug trafficking, and murder. Officials in New Delhi emphasize that these individuals pose a threat not only to India but also to the safety and security of Canadian citizens. “Our cooperation with Canada is vital in addressing these threats,” said an official from India’s Ministry of Home Affairs.
Arsh Dalla, who reportedly leads a gang with international reach, has been linked to numerous violent crimes in India. Goldy Brar, another prominent figure on the list, is considered a key player in the organized crime syndicate that has made headlines for its brutal tactics and involvement in high-profile murders. Canadian authorities are under pressure to take action against these individuals, especially as concerns grow about the safety of the Indian diaspora in Canada.
In response to the shared list, Canadian law enforcement agencies have stated they will investigate the allegations thoroughly. They reiterated their commitment to working with Indian authorities to address transnational crime. “We take these concerns seriously and will conduct a full review of the information provided,” said a spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
This latest development adds another layer to the complex relationship between India and Canada, particularly regarding issues of organized crime and terrorism. As both countries navigate their diplomatic challenges, the focus on gang-related activities underscores a mutual interest in enhancing security and cooperation.
Political analysts suggest that this collaboration could pave the way for a more stable relationship in the future. “Combating organized crime requires international cooperation, and both nations have a stake in addressing these issues,” said Dr. Harsh V. Pant, a professor of international relations.
