US Refrains from Commenting on Alleged Assassination Plot against Khalistani Terrorist Due to Ongoing Legal Proceedings

The United States State Department has declined to make any statement regarding the alleged plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, citing the ongoing legal nature of the investigation. Spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized that allegations will not be addressed until proven before a jury. Pannun, who holds American and Canadian citizenship, has faced accusations of anti-India remarks and threats against Indian officials, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. While the US Justice Department claims that an Indian government employee recruited an individual named Nikhil Gupta to carry out the assassination, Gupta is currently detained in the Czech Republic pending extradition to the United States. Indian authorities are also conducting a separate investigation into the allegations.
