A court in New York has issued a summons to the Indian government, demands a response from it within 21 days.
Earlier, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Khalistani separatist, filed a civil lawsuit in US court alleging the Indian government of hatching a conspiracy to assassinate him.
The lawsuit also names India’s foreign intelligence agency personnel and others, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, former Research and Analysis Wing chief Samant Goel, R&AW agent Vikram Yadav, and Indian businessman Nikhil Gupta.
The complainant, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who heads the radical outfit Sikhs for Justice, uploaded a copy of the summons on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Financial Times reported last year that the US had foiled a plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada. The US administration later confirmed the development.
In response, the Ministry of External Affairs noted that it is a matter of concern. It asserted that New Delhi has launched a high-level probe.
