Amid the controversy over an attempt to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil, United States Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said on Wednesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray is likely to visit India next week.
Last week, the US Justice Department alleged that an Indian government official, Nikhil Gupta, made an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Pannun. He was said to have done so along with another person who was an ‘undercover’ agent.
Speaking on the relations between India and the US during a panel discussion at the Carnegie ‘Global Technology Summit’ held in New Delhi, Ambassador Eric Garcetti said, “This was the Number 1 country she [US Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen] went to outside the United States. Four times this year. The Secretary of State [Antony Blinken] just came here for the third time. Secretary of Defence [Lloyd Austin] for the second time. The FBI director is here next week,” as quoted by India Today.
