The case of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has formerly again come to the fore. The Washington Post has contended that a top Indian intelligence functionary conspired to kill US- grounded Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. It also claimed that the also RAW principal Samant Kumar Goel had approved the operation. What information has been revealed about the RAW officer? Who's Vikram Yadav? Let's know about it.
According to the Washington Post, the plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannu was incubated by a RAW officer. He has been linked as Vikram Yadav. In its charge last time, the US authorities had said that Nikhil Gupta, an Indian public, had acted at the decree of an Indian sanctioned named CC- 1( Chief Conspirator). Nikhil Gupta is presently lodged in a jail in Prague. He was arrested in Prague and US authorities have demanded his repatriation to the US. In its charge last time, US authorities said the Indian government functionary conspired with Gupta and others to kill a counsel and political activist. The Washington Post has reported that RAW officer Vikram Yadav encouraged Gurpatwant Singh Pannu's address in New York to some people. The report states that Vikram Yadav and Gupta planned the murder of Pannu by having an online discussion. During their plan, they had approached a medicine and arms dealer. But that person was a asset for theU.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. US officers have said that India was involved in the conspiracy to kill Pannu.
India's intelligence agency? The Washington Post reported that Yadav was a crucial figure in the plan to kill Pannu. The also R & AW principal Samant Kumar Goel had given authorization for the scheme to Yadav. The Washington Post further reported that the incident was nearly delved by US intelligence agencies. It also said that Modi's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval may have been apprehensive of the plans to kill Sikh activists, but officers claimed that no substantiation of this had surfaced. The US review also reported that Goyal was under pressure from the Indian government to address the trouble of Sikh crazies abroad. Who's Vikram Yadav? Vikram Yadav is a former Central Reserve Police Force( CRPF) officer. rather of giving him the position of a inferior officer in RAW, he was given the responsibility of this important charge.
Yadav demanded training and moxie, it said. In fact, Indian RAW officers have in recent days been conducting surveillance on Sikhs who are considered a trouble to India's public security, the Washington Post report said. Some of them have been arrested or reprimanded in other countries, including Australia, Germany and the UK. Former Indian officers who knew Goyal have told The Washington Post that the assassination plot couldn't have been carried out in North America without his blessing. specially, Goyal has had hassles with Sikh zealots abroad in the history. What did officers say? It's important to note that both Goyal and Doval haven't responded to the claims made by The Washington Post. Soon after the Washington Post report was published, External Affairs Ministry prophet Randhir Jaiswal said," All these claims are unwarranted.
A high- position commission set up by the Indian government to look into the enterprises raised by the US government on the network of culprits, terrorists and others is looking into it." Meanwhile, the White House has said that India is taking seriously the allegations of a plot to bump off Gurpatwant Singh Pannu in the United States. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean- Pierre said the disquisition is ongoing and the Department of Justice( DOJ) is probing. The White House Press Secretary said India is an important strategic mate of the US. On the disquisition report into the contended assassination plot, Jean- Pierre said," We're really harmonious about it. This is a serious issue and we're taking it veritably seriously. The Government of India has easily told us that they're taking this matter seriously and will conduct an inquiry in this regard."
Allegations against RAW This isn't the first time that RAW has been intertwined in a murder case abroad. before this month, The Guardian had also reported that the Indian government had killed individualities in Pakistan as part of its strategy to exclude terrorists living abroad. The report, which cites officers in both India and Pakistan, reveals how the killings were carried out under RAW surveillance by the Indian government after 2019. A recent Washington Post report also said that Pannu's payoff was part of a RAW operation.
