A committee set up by the Union government has recommended that legal action be taken against a former Indian intelligence officer, identified as 'CC1' in an indictment filed in New York City, for allegedly orchestrating a foiled plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurupatwant Singh Pannun, who is a dual US-Canadian citizen.
The enquiry committee was formed to probe the individual's links with the drug mafia and criminal gangs after allegations surfaced that a plot was hatched to kill Pannun in the US in 2023.
