“Irresponsible and speculative,” India denounces the Washington Post article on a RAW official’s “hit team.”

The Indian government has taken issue with a story published in The Washington Post that implicated a RAW officer in the conspiracy to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US territory. The Washington Post has revealed that the previously unidentified official was really Vikram Yadav, who had collaborated with Nikhil Gupta in an effort to kill Pannun. Additionally, the report said that the operation had been authorized by RAW Director Samant Goel.

The aforementioned report contains unjustified and unsupported allegations about a significant issue. The Indian government established the High Level Committee to examine into security concerns that the US government raised about networks of terrorists, organized crime, and other groups. The committee is now conducting an inquiry into these issues. Speakingswoman for the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal said that “speculative and irresponsible comments on it are not helpful.”

The Washington Post said that Yadav had sent information on Pannun, including his residence in New York. Goel was reportedly under “extreme pressure to eliminate the alleged threat of Sikh extremists overseas,” according to the statement.

The murder of Hardeen Singh Nijjar, a second terrorist from Khalistani, in Canada happened at the same time as the plan to kill Pannun. The report said that several RAW agents and Sikhs had been arrested, expelled, and reprimanded in Australia, Germany, and Britain after the agency increased its “surveillance and harassment” of Sikhs and other groups “perceived as disloyal to the Modo government.”

Karine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary for the White House, said on Monday that the Indian government is treating this issue seriously. “On the basis of it, we anticipate accountability from the government. However, we will keep voicing our concerns. It won’t end like that. The press secretary said, “We will keep bringing up our issues directly with the Indian administration.
