The arguments were supposed to begin in the 22 May hearing on charges against the former R&AW officer, arrested in December 2023. Chargesheet to be filed by next hearing on 25 August.
In exclusive interview with ThePrint, Indian national Nikhil Gupta says he doesn’t know former R&AW officer Vikash Yadav & that all he needs is a ‘good lawyer to turn this around’.
'Individual' referred to is most likely Vikash Yadav, former R&AW officer whose involvement US had alleged in its first indictment in 'foiled plot to assassinate' the Sikh separatist.
According to his plea in a Delhi court, Vikash Yadav's details including his photograph are available to public, & he is monitored by hostile elements which puts his life in danger.
39-year-old Vikash Yadav, a former CRPF and former R&AW agent, made it to the FBI’s most wanted poster, charged with ‘murder for hire’ in connection with an alleged assassination plot against US lawyer Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Though Indian govt has conveyed that it no longer employs Vikash Yadav, US wants speedy probe into plot to assassinate SFJ founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, it is learnt.
Chargesheet against Vikash Yadav states that ex-RAW official accused by US in foiled plot to assassinate Pannun admitted to kidnapping and extorting Delhi-based cafe owner.
Cabinet Secretariat delayed Yadav's confirmation after he transferred from CRPF in 2013. In 2023, he was suspended in light of US's 'Pannun plot' allegations & later arrested in local case.
1st request made in 2018 was rejected in 2019. An appeal filed in 2021 was rejected in 2022 citing 'insufficient evidence to prove links with terror attacks or its funding', it is learnt.
