A newly unsealed U.S. criminal indictment has unleashed an unprecedented flood of details about an alleged plot connected to the Indian government to carry out multiple assassinations in North America.
Perhaps the most surprising allegation in the murder-for-hire indictment filed in New York State against Indian national Nikhil Gupta is a claim that there were plans to carry out three such killings on Canadian soil.
The indictment, made public Wednesday, accuses Gupta of attempting this year to arrange one killing in New York after receiving instructions from an Indian government employee.
The Indian government employee is not named in the indictment, but he is described as having held different roles, including intelligence, security management and in India’s Central Reserve Police Force.
Last week, the Financial Times reported that U.S. officials had filed a criminal indictment and thwarted a similar plot against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a citizen of the U.S. and Canada.
“This is an indictment against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a known human-rights violator who has a track record of using violence to suppress criticism and dissenting political opinion,” Pannum said.
