Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) is a militant outfit of the Khalistan movement. In February 2023, it was designated as a terrorist organization by the Government of India.[1]
In May 2023, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two wanted persons at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, who allegedly were close aides of KTF's Arshdeep Singh, an "individual designated terrorist" based in Canada.[2] In June 2023, NIA arrested Gagandeep Singh who allegedly is a close-aide of KTF operatives.[3] Gagandeep Singh was also arrested previously in July 2021.[4]
The Indian government alleged that Hardeep Singh Nijjar was the leader of the outfit.
