Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Sikh separatist leader, received a warning from the FBI about an imminent threat to his life related to a murder-for-hire plot. This warning follows the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023, who was linked to Pannun. The FBI's investigation connects Indian government employees to the assassination plot, with Vikash Yadav identified as a fugitive. Pannun was advised to avoid travel until the threat is resolved, echoing earlier warnings given to Nijjar before his death. The FBI has added Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in connection with these events. The ongoing investigation has led to multiple arrests and charges against individuals involved in organized crime and murder-for-hire schemes. The situation has heightened tensions between Canada and India, with accusations of state-sponsored actions.
