The US says it foiled an alleged plot to assassinate an American citizen in New York who advocated for a Sikh separatist state.
Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, was charged on Wednesday. He was directed by an Indian government employee, according to the indictment.
He has been charged with murder-for-hire over the plot, which prosecutors said was orchestrated from India.
The alleged target was not named in the court documents.

Well, a month or two ago, Canada formally accused India of being behind an actual assassination on Canadian soil.
Very nasty stuff. Troubling times.
