The Justice Department's announcement of charges against Indian government employee Vikash Yadav for a foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist leader in New York marks a significant escalation of tensions between India and the West.
'The FBI will not tolerate acts of violence or other efforts to retaliate against those residing in the US for exercising their constitutionally protected rights,' stated FBI Director Christopher Wray, underscoring the seriousness of this alleged plot and similar activities.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller revealed that the individual indicted, Vikash Yadav, 'is no longer an employee of the Indian government,' indicating an ongoing investigation into the international implications of these criminal actions.
As Canada expelled the Indian diplomat implicated in the targeting of Sikh separatists, allegations arose about Indian officials sharing sensitive information about these individuals back to their government, highlighting the serious diplomatic fallout.
