[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 77472580, member: 294566"] [HEADING=2][URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/11/29/india-us-assassination-plot-sikh-pannun/']U.S. prosecutors allege assassination plot of Sikh separatist directed by Indian government employee[/URL][/HEADING] [B]An Indian government employee[/B] who described himself as a “senior field officer” responsible for intelligence [B]ordered the assassination[/B] of a Sikh separatist in New York City in May, U.S. prosecutors alleged Wednesday. The court filing heightens scrutiny of India’s spy services following similar allegations made by Canadian authorities in September. The Justice Department said Wednesday that the unnamed Indian government employee agreed, in a deal brokered by Gupta, to pay $100,000 to a purported hit man who was in fact an undercover U.S. law enforcement officer. The charges against Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic in late June pending extradition to the United States, build on a [URL='https://washingtonpost.com/documents/6b3b1fb5-d385-4687-b0b0-7af2b1c880cb.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_16']bare-bones indictment[/URL], filed in mid-June and unsealed in July. The indictment contains chilling details, alleging that the Indian government employee and Gupta had a sweeping plan to kill “so many targets,” as Gupta put it, in Canada and the United States. The operations would be directed from India. Besides the target in New York, at least one other was in California and three were in Canada, according to the filing. Prosecutors reference the killing of Nijjar in Canada. “Later that evening, just hours after the Nijjar murder, [the Indian government employee] sent Gupta a video clip that showed Nijjar’s bloody body slumped in his vehicle,” it stated. Gupta replied “that he wished he had personally conducted the killing,” the indictment said. [/QUOTE]
