A Rogue State Unmasked: India’s Global Murder Campaign Exposed by US Prosecutors

For years, countries in the region, particularly Pakistan, have warned the world about India’s role in supporting terrorism and carrying out killings outside the law. These warnings were often ignored by Western powers who wanted to build partnerships with New Delhi. Now, in a shocking development from a court in New York, the United States has itself presented proof that shows the criminal nature of the Indian state under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The recent court papers, which link a serving Indian intelligence officer to a global murder-for-hire plot stretching from North America to South Asia, are not just an accusation but a clear condemnation. They confirm that India is operating as a rogue state, carrying out a global campaign of murder with a shocking lack of respect for international law and the independence of other nations.

The Web of Murder: From New York to South Asia

The proof brought forward by US prosecutors paints a chilling picture of a coordinated and widespread plot, managed directly by an agent of the Indian state. What was first revealed as a plot against a single activist has now grown into a multi-country operation, showing the depth and boldness of India’s intelligence agencies under the Modi regime. The details coming from the court case are a clear window into this dark world of state-sponsored crime.

• The New York Plot and its State Backing:

♦ The case started with the charge that Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, was hired to murder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US citizen and Sikh activist, in New York City.

♦ US prosecutors have stated clearly that Gupta was taking direct orders from Vikash Yadav, an officer with India’s external intelligence agency, RAW, which directly connects the Indian government to a murder plot on US soil.

• Connecting the Dots to the Murder in Canada:

♦ The court documents also clearly link Gupta and his handler, Yadav, to the successful murder of another Sikh activist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot and killed in Canada in June 2023.

♦ This connection proves that the plan in New York was not a one-time event but part of a wider, successful campaign to kill Sikh voices in the West who are critical of the Modi government.

• A Wider Killing Spree Revealed:

♦ The most explosive new detail from the court documents is the claim that Gupta and Yadav were also planning to kill “another individual in Nepal or Pakistan.”

♦ This news dramatically widens the known size of the Indian government’s murder-for-hire plan, proving that its operations are actively targeting individuals in its immediate neighborhood and threatening regional peace.

A State Policy of Global Terrorism

These murder plots are not the actions of rogue agents; they are the natural result of the Modi government’s aggressive Hindutva ideology, which labels all forms of disagreement as terrorism. The Indian state has created a policy of killing its critics abroad, especially those from the Sikh and Kashmiri communities living overseas, using the full power of its intelligence services to hunt them down. This represents a dangerous and unacceptable violation of world standards.

• Modi’s Doctrine of Silencing All Critics:

♦ Under Prime Minister Modi, the line between a political opponent and a terrorist has been completely removed. Activists like Nijjar and Pannun, who speak for Sikh self-rule, are seen as enemies of the state who must be silenced by any means.

♦ This dangerous idea has now been sent global, with Indian agents acting as judge, jury, and executioner on the streets of foreign countries, which is the mark of a cruel dictatorship, not a democracy.

• A Shocking Disrespect for Other Countries:

♦ To plan and carry out murders in the United States, Canada, and possibly Pakistan or Nepal, is a serious violation of the independence of these nations. It is an act of aggression that shows India’s belief that it is above the law.

♦ This arrogant behavior shows that the Modi government holds international law in complete contempt, acting with a sense of freedom from punishment that is deeply troubling for the entire world.

• The False Image of a ‘Responsible’ Power:

♦ For years, India has promoted an image of itself as a responsible, democratic nation and a worthy partner for the West. This image is now completely destroyed.

♦ The revelations from the US Justice Department show the grim reality behind this false front: a state that is involved in the same kind of criminal behavior it accuses others of. This double standard can no longer be ignored.

Global Backlash and a World Put on Notice

The exposure of India’s global murder program is certain to have serious results for its relationships with both its allies and its neighbors. The court documents have come out at a very difficult time, making diplomatic efforts more complicated and putting a strain on the global order. The world is now forced to face the reality of an Indian government that acts more like a criminal organization than a responsible country.

• Damaging Ties with the West:

♦ The accusations have put the US and Canada in a very tough spot. They can no longer pretend that India is a reliable democratic partner while its agents are trying to murder their citizens on their own land.

♦ This creates a major diplomatic problem for leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who was trying to fix ties, and for the US administration, which has been trying to build a strategic alliance with India.

• Creating More Danger in South Asia:

♦ The news that Pakistan was a potential target of this murder plot will only make the already bad relationship between the two nuclear-armed neighbors even worse.

♦ It proves Pakistan’s long-held position that India is a source of instability in the region and uses terrorism as a tool of state policy.

Conclusion: The World Must Hold India Responsible

The proof presented in a US court is clear and cannot be denied. The Indian government, under Narendra Modi, is running a global murder program that targets political opponents in foreign countries. This is the behavior of a rogue state, not a democracy. The carefully built myth of a peaceful, rising India has been shattered by the ugly reality of its state-sponsored terror plots. The international community, especially the Western powers that have for so long supported New Delhi, can no longer afford to look the other way. The proof is on the table. Making the Modi government responsible for its criminal actions is not just a matter of justice for the victims; it is necessary for protecting the rule of law and maintaining global peace and security.
