Two Arsh Dalla gang members arrested in Moga Congress leader murder case

HGS Dhaliwal, Special Commissioner of Police, said: “The accused had also committed another murder in broad day light in Talwandi, Punjab. Both murders were committed at the direction of Arsh Dalla… Police caught them near Outer Ring Road (north of Sarai Kale Khan) and asked them to surrender but they attacked the police team.”
The police said they recovered a live hand grenade, a pistol and five live cartridges. The accused are being questioned about the involvement of the Arsh Dalla gang in the murder, they added.

Hours after Balli’s killing, Arshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, a native of Dala village in Moga believed to be hiding in Canada, took to Facebook and claimed responsibility for it. “I am responsible for the murder of Balli in Dala village because it was my own village’s politics which had made me tread this path. This man (Balli) was responsible for keeping my mother in CIA (police) custody for a week and he also got my friends arrested. He was hand in glove with police… and got my home vandalised. He destroyed my home just to gain his own afsar shaahi… My life’s aim was not to live my own life but to kill him. If we wished, we would have killed his child too but that child was nowhere at fault… Those who are sympathising with him, their homes are also not far for us…” read the post.
Punjab Police has arrested seven people in the case—Sukhveer Singh, Jagjit Singh and Hardeep Singh of Dala village, Gurcharan Singh Sidhu alias Coach of Takhanwad village (also in Moga), and Gurdeep Singh, Sukhchain Singh and Parminder Singh of Khemuana village in Bathinda.
