Indian government employee accused of directing foiled assassination plot of Sikh activist on US soil
Fox News
The DOJ charged an Indian national of orchestrating a plot to kill a Sikh activist in New York City at the direction of an Indian government employee.
"As alleged, the defendant conspired from India to assassinate, right here in New York City, a U.S. citizen of Indian origin who has publicly advocated for the establishment of a sovereign state for Sikhs, an ethnoreligious minority group in India," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said. "I am grateful that my Office and our law enforcement partners neutralized this deadly and outrageous threat. We will not tolerate efforts to assassinate U.S. citizens on U.S. soil, and stand ready to investigate, thwart, and prosecute anyone who seeks to harm and silence Americans here or abroad."
