NEW YORK (AP) — An Indian government official directed a plot to assassinate a prominent Sikh separatist leader living in New York City, United States prosecutors said Wednesday as they announced charges against a man they said was part of the thwarted conspiracy.

U.S. officials became aware in the spring of the plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who advocated for the creation of a sovereign Sikh state and is considered a terrorist by the Indian government. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration interceded and set up a sting, with an undercover agent posing as a hitman, after the conspirators recruited an international narcotics trafficker in the plot to kill the activist for $100,000.

The Indian government official was not charged nor identified by name in an indictment unsealed Wednesday, but was described as a “senior field officer” with responsibilities in security management and intelligence, said to have previously served in India’s Central Reserve Police Force.

Will india ask usa also to reduce staff in embassy like it did with canada ? hahaha

[vokatonumberkurrodu]

if they can set up a con "hitman", they can also set up a con "senior field officer" (with a promise of US citizenship)

basically everything is set up to push blame on India.

picchi mental narsi @Raven_Rayes "indian constitution keeps telugu people civilized otherwise they will be killing each other on ethnobasis". No telugu guy ever killed another telugu guy because of regional difference but indian govt invovled in so many killings.
