Vikash Yadav, who has been charged by the United States Department of Justice for allegedly plotting to assassinate Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has broken his silence. The indictment was unsealed on Thursday. It claims Vikash was associated with India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), but Indian officials confirmed that he is no longer a government employee. His cousin, Avinash Yadav, speaking to Reuters, said Yadav described the claims as false and characterized the media reports surrounding them as misleading.
