Vikash Yadav: An Indian Government Agent Accused of Murder-for-Hire

Vikash Yadav, a former Indian government employee, has been accused of orchestrating a plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader in the United States.

According to a U.S. Department of Justice indictment, Yadav, who is also known as Vikas and Amanat, conspired to hire a hitman to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a leader of the banned Sikh for Justice group.

The indictment alleges that Yadav, who is a citizen and resident of India, directed the plot from India and provided the hitman with funds.

Pannun, who is based in the United States, is a vocal advocate for the creation of an independent Sikh homeland in Punjab, India.

The U.S. authorities have charged Yadav with "murder-for-hire" and money laundering.

The FBI has issued a wanted poster for Yadav, who is believed to be in India.

The Indian government has not yet commented on the charges against Yadav.

The case has raised concerns about the activities of Indian intelligence agencies in the United States.

It is not the first time that Indian government agents have been accused of plotting to assassinate Sikh separatists in the United States.

In 2010, two Indian diplomats were expelled from the United States after they were caught trying to recruit an undercover FBI agent to kill Pannun.

The case of Vikash Yadav is a reminder of the ongoing tensions between India and the Sikh separatist movement.

It also raises questions about the role of Indian intelligence agencies in the United States.
