A Washington Post investigation has revealed an alleged assassination plot by India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) to eliminate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on U.S. soil. The plan, reportedly authorized by then-RAW chief Samant Goel, involved RAW officer Vikram Yadav who directed businessman Nikhil Gupta, now in custody in the Czech Republic, to hire a hitman for the operation outside Pannun's New York residence. U.S. intelligence assessments and sources confirm the involvement of Indian intelligence in targeting the Sikh diaspora in the US and Canada. The White House has expressed serious concerns over these revelations, indicating the gravity of the situation and had previously warned the Modi government about the impending exposure.

Per reports, a plot has been foiled where the Indian spy agencies sought to assassinate Sikh dissidents and separatists on the U.S. soil, as they thought they could get away with Biden at the helm. There won’t be repercussions they believed.
