US Charges Indian Official Vikash Yadav in Foiled Assassination Plot Against US Sikh Activist in New York
Oct 17, 2024, 10:46 PM
The US Justice Department has charged an Indian government employee, Vikash Yadav, in connection with a foiled plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader and US citizen in New York City. Yadav, who remains at large, is accused of directing the failed murder-for-hire scheme targeting the activist, a critic of the Indian government. The co-conspirator, Nikhil Gupta, was previously extradited to the United States. The charges implicate the Indian government directly in the cross-border assassination attempt, raising concerns about foreign interference and retaliation against dissidents residing in the US. The FBI has issued warnings against such retaliatory actions aimed at US residents.
