India’s ‘Raw’ is involved in the attempt to kill a Sikh leader in the United States

The Washington Post reported that the Indian intelligence agency ‘Raw’ was involved in the attempt to kill Gurpatwant Singh, an independent pro-Khalistan Sikh leader living in the United States.

The media also reported that Samant Goel, the then chief of ‘RAW’ who retired in 2023, was one of the plotters of this assassination attempt.

According to the Washington Post, the main planner of this assassination attempt was RAW spy Vikram Yadav. In an indictment last year, US officials said a man named Nikhil Gupta worked for an Indian officer, alias CC-1, to kill Gurpatwant Singh.

Nikhil Gupta was arrested by the Czech Republic’s capital Prague last year based on information from US officials. Since then, efforts are underway to take Nikhil to the United States.

Now it is known that the officer named CC-1 was Vikram Yadav. He gave the Sikh leader’s home address and other information to Nikhil Gupta.

The influential media in the US also reported that Vikram Yadav was brought to ‘RAW’ from the Central Reserve Police Force. Vikram Yadav didn’t have enough training to carry out the task of killing such a big man on foreign soil. And because of this, it is assumed that this assassination attempt has failed.

The media also reported that Nikhil Gupta went to an arms dealer on the words of Vikram Yadav. But the person who approached him as an arms dealer was actually a source for the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

As the plans progressed, Vikram Yadav hinted to Nikhil Gupta that he would have to do bigger things later. Which will include Canada.

The Washington Post also reported that, in addition to the then ‘R’ chief, Ajit Goel, the security adviser of the Modi government, may also be involved, US officials believe. But they are not completely sure about this.
