Indian government will itself investigate the American accused in Pannu case, Indian investigation committee will go to US today

The Indian investigation committee formed to investigate the allegations of involvement of an Indian official in the case of attempt to assassinate American citizen and separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu will visit America today.

In fact, it was claimed that Indian officials were behind the attempt to murder Pannu. India had formed an investigation committee regarding these allegations. Now this team will visit America today i.e. on 15th October to investigate the allegations. The US State Ministry gave this information.

Indian investigation committee will visit Washington DC

PTI quoted the US State Department as saying that the investigating committee will visit Washington DC on October 15 as part of its ongoing investigation to discuss the case, including the information they received and from US officials about the ongoing case. Latest information can be obtained.

Additionally, the State Department said that India has informed the US that they are continuing their efforts to investigate other connections of the former government employee and will take further action as necessary.

Last November, US prosecutors had charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta for allegedly plotting Pannu's murder in New York.

Gupta was arrested in Czech Republic in June last year and was extradited to the US on June 14. India has denied the allegations, but has formed an internal investigation team to investigate. In July this year, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) extended the ban on Pannu's Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) for another five years.

Search operations were conducted in Punjab

According to the ministry, Pannu's SFJ is known for anti-national and subversive activities in Punjab, aimed at disrupting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.

Last month, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at four locations across Punjab in a case related to terrorism-related activities and promotion of violence by Sikh for Justice (SFJ) leader and pro-Khalistani terrorist Gurupatwant Singh Pannu.

NIA teams raided premises linked to the suspects at one location in Moga, two locations in Bathinda and one location in Mohali. ANI reported that during the search, several incriminating materials including digital devices were seized, which are being examined.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, a resident of Khankot, Amritsar, has studied law from Punjab University. After completing his studies, he went abroad where he along with Pakistani intelligence agency ISI tried to revive the Khalistani separatist campaign in Punjab.
