US presses India for updates over 'murder for hire' plot: deputy secretary
|
[GEO.TV] The United States is seeking accountability from India after thwarting an Indian conspiracy to assassinate pro-Khalistan leader of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil last year.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said that he had raised the issue directly at the most senior levels of the Indian government.
The case in question involves Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national arrested in the Czech Republic in June last year for allegedly planning the murder of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US citizen and a Sikh leader. Pannun leads Sikhs for Justice, a group outlawed in India. Gupta was extradited to the US earlier on June 14 and pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
in a Manhattan court on 17 June.
Kurt Campbell highlighted that an American citizen was targeted in the alleged plot.
"We have had constructive dialogue with India on this topic and I would say that they have been responsive to our concerns," he said in a virtual interaction with Indian journalists from Washington.
"We've made clear that we seek accountability from the Government of India and we have consistently asked for updates on the Indian committee of inquiry's investigations."
"And I would just simply say that we raised this issue directly with the Indian government...at the most senior levels between our two sides," the senior US official said.
