Описание: US Court Convicts RAW Agent In Pannu Case. More Pressure On Modi To Oblige Trump? | PZ LIVE


In a major development that has *strained India–US relations**, an Indian national has **pled guilty in a U.S. federal court* for his role in a plot to assassinate Sikh activist *Gurpatwant Singh Pannun* in *New York City* — allegedly at the direction of agents linked to *Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India’s external intelligence agency. The case has sparked fresh diplomatic pressure on **Narendra Modi* amid speculation that the **

**Nikhil Gupta**, an Indian citizen extradited from the Czech Republic, admitted guilt to conspiracy, murder-for-hire, and money-laundering charges in the U.S. Southern District Court — a plea that could lead to decades in prison. Prosecutors say Gupta acted under the direction of a former Indian government employee identified as Vikash Yadav, accused of recruiting him to facilitate the plot. ([Pakistan Today][1])

The case has triggered **diplomatic unease**, with the U.S. Justice Department and FBI underscoring the seriousness of plotting violence on American soil and raising questions about accountability, diplomatic norms, and how India handles transnational intelligence operations. Analysts are now asking:

🔹 Will this conviction add *pressure on Modi* to align more with U.S. diplomatic demands?
🔹 Could it affect broader *India–U.S. cooperation* on defence and trade?
🔹 What does this mean for India’s intelligence posture abroad?

In this episode of **PZ LIVE**, we break down the Pannun case, diplomatic fallout, and how this could reshape ties between two of the world’s most powerful democracies.
