The Delhi Police Crime Branch has uncovered and broken an international narcotics‑terror financing network linked to designated Khalistani extremist Arsh Dalla.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police announced today that it has successfully dismantled an international module that combined drug trafficking with terror financing. The operation targeted a network that was reportedly facilitating the movement of narcotics to raise funds for extremist activities.
Investigators traced the module’s connections to Arsh Dalla, a person listed as a designated Khalistani terrorist by Indian security agencies. Intelligence inputs indicated that the cell operated across borders, using illicit drug trade as a revenue source for militant operations.
Police officials said the bust underscores the growing focus on disrupting financial channels that support terrorism. The department has not disclosed the number of arrests or the quantity of contraband seized, citing ongoing investigative procedures.
Authorities emphasized that the action is part of a broader effort to curb both narcotics smuggling and terrorism financing, aiming to protect national security and public safety.
