Delhi Police has requested the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to revoke the passports of at least 10 criminals and terrorists operating from abroad, including the alleged gangsters Himanshu Bhau, Kapil Sangwan and Rohit Godara.
The intention, sources said, is to confine these individuals to the countries where they are currently based, prevent them from travelling, and ultimately make it easier to bring them back to face justice in India.
Besides Bhau, Sangwan, and Godara, who are accused in multiple cases of murder, extortion, and land-grab, the list includes Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Dalla, Gurjant Singh alias Janta, Rashid Cablewala, Sachin Kumar Golu, Venkat Garg, Randeep Malik, and Yogesh Kadiyan, it is learnt.
Three of these 10 alleged criminals are from Delhi, two from Punjab, four from Haryana, and one from Rajasthan. Here’s who these men are, and what they are accused of.
lArshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, from Moga, Punjab. Suspected to be in Canada. Arsh Dalla is a proclaimed offender wanted in more than 50 cases of murder, attempted murder, extortion and terrorist acts, including terrorist financing. In May 2022, a Red Corner Notice was issued against him, and in 2023, he was designated in India as an ‘individual terrorist’.
In July 2023, India requested the Canadian government to provisionally arrest Dalla, but it was declined. In November 2024, the MEA described him as the “de-facto chief” of the banned separatist organisation Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF).
