The United States has formally accused Vikash Yadav, a former Indian intelligence officer, of orchestrating a failed assassination attempt against a Sikh separatist in New York City last year. This development was reported by the Washington Post, which cited American officials as the source of this information.

The indictment against Yadav, who was affiliated with India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), was made public on Thursday. This uncovers a layer of international espionage involving Indian intelligence services targeting individuals abroad.

This case highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions and brings to light the clandestine operations in which intelligence agencies engage globally. The unsealing of the indictment against Yadav marks a significant moment in international law enforcement cooperation to curb transnational crimes.
