“A former employee of the Indian government has been indicted in the U.S. on charges of directing the assassination attempt of a Sikh separatist leader in New York City. The Justice Department, in an 18-page indictment Thursday, charged Vikash Yadav, 39, with three counts of murder-for-hire and money laundering. Federal prosecutors said Yadav was a “senior field officer” for New Delhi. Yadav, they say, orchestrated the plot from India and hired Nikhil Gupta, another Indian national who is himself accused of trying to hire a hit man. Their New York target was an attorney and political activist who is a U.S. citizen of Indian origin, prosecutors said. Gupta was arrested last year in connection with the plot by authorities in the Czech Republic and extradited to the U.S.” (10/18/24)
