A US federal prosecutor on Thursday alleged that a former Indian RAW officer was involved in a failed plot to kill Khalistan terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. This information has been given by the US Justice Department. This allegation has been made after the meeting between Indian and American officials. However, India has clarified that the person whom the US has pointed fingers at is no longer an employee of the Indian government. After the official level meeting, India said that the allegation of involvement of an Indian RAW officer in the murder of an American citizen is very serious. India takes this seriously.
Who is this Indian RAW officer?
Vikas Yadav has been identified as a former officer of India's intelligence agency RAW. On Thursday, legal action was ordered against him. The US Justice Department has claimed that Vikas Yadav is a former officer of India's intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). America has alleged that an Indian agent is involved in the conspiracy to murder American-Canadian citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.
What is the allegation against Vikas Yadav?
However, 39-year-old Vikas Yadav is no longer a government employee. Three charges have been leveled against him. This also includes conspiracy to commit murder for hire and money laundering. The US Justice Department has declared him a fugitive. The allegation in the case is that Vikas Yadav along with other people sitting in India and abroad hatched a conspiracy against Pannu in May 2023.
America will not make such efforts
US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said the charges brought here show that the US Justice Department will not tolerate efforts to target or intimidate Americans and undermine the rights of American citizens. However, India has rejected these allegations and has formed an investigation committee.
