US court summons Ajit Doval and former RAW chief over plot to kill Sikh leader Pannun

Washington: A US court summoned the Indian government following a lawsuit by Khalistani leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who stated that New Delhi hatched a plot to murder him.

According to Kashmir Media Service, after Gurpatwant Singh Pannun filed a civil lawsuit in US court stating the Indian government of hatching a conspiracy to assassinate him, the District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a summons to the Indian government.

The summons demands a response from the Indian government within 21 days.

Apart from the Indian government, the lawsuit names India’s foreign intelligence agency personnel and others, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, former Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) chief Samant Goel, R&AW agent Vikram Yadav, and Indian businessman Nikhil Gupta.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who heads the radical outfit Sikhs for Justice, shared a copy of the summons on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which has been withheld. The centre’s response to the summons is awaited.

According to a Financial Times report, last year, the US had thwarted a plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada. US President Joe Biden’s administration later confirmed the development.
