The Washington Post report alleged US intelligence agencies have assessed that the operation to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was approved by the then chief of India's spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)
India has dismissed as "unwarranted and unsubstantiated" allegations made by The Washington Post that an Indian intelligence officer hired a hit team to kill US-based Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
The report published on Sunday alleged US intelligence agencies have assessed that the operation to kill Pannun was approved by Samant Goel, the then chief of India's spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
"The report in question makes unwarranted and unsubstantiated imputations on a serious matter," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement.
