Source: The Indian Express · 17 Jan 2025A high-powered committee set up by the Union government to examine inputs provided by the United States on an alleged plot to kill Khalistan separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has submitted its report and recommended legal action against “an individual”, the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a press statement Wednesday. The statement does not identify the individual in question.
The US authorities had earlier shared inputs with the Indian government on the alleged involvement of Vikash Yadav, a former Indian official who has been officially indicted by the public prosecutor in the US for “directing a foiled plot to assassinate a US citizen in New York City”. The Ministry of External Affairs had said in November last year that Yadav “is no longer an employee of the government of India”.
