According to sources cited by The Financial Times on Wednesday, the US foiled a plot to kill Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US soil and warned the Indian government about possible involvement in the plot.
Pannun is the leader of the Sikhs for Justice organization, based in the US, which India has classified as a terrorist organization. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a citizen of both Canada and the United States, has been working to resurrect the movement for an independent “Khalistan.”
According to the Financial Times, those with knowledge of the case declined to comment on whether the plotters changed their minds after the protest in New Delhi or if the FBI stepped in and thwarted an already-formed scheme.
The report claims that after Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in Vancouver in June, the US notified a few allies about the plot.
