India Hits Back At US Allegations Of Plot To Kill Sikh Separatist

The DoJ indictment, which was made public on Wednesday, included damning details regarding the alleged attempted assassination of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US citizen, by an Indian intelligence officer referred to only as CC-1.

According to the allegation by the DoJ, CC-1 "directed the assassination plot from India".

Pannun is a vocal critic of the Indian government and a known supporter of the Khalistan movement, which fights for an independent state for Sikhs in Punjab and is outlawed in India. He also runs the US-based organisation Sikhs for Justice.

At a briefing yesterday, Arindam Bagchi, the spokesperson for India's ministry of external affairs, described the case as a "matter of concern" and said the accusations that had been made by the DoJ were "contrary to government policy".

Echoing a previous statement given after the Financial Times revealed details of the alleged attempt to kill Pannun, Bagchi did not explicitly deny the allegations.
