Vikash Yadav recruited an Indian gangster to arrange the death of an American citizen as part of a wider plot that included the killing of Canadian Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia last year, according to a newly unsealed indictment. Yadav ran the plot from India, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked in the Indian government’s cabinet secretariat. He “remains at large,” the department said. (The Logic)

Talking point: Yadav’s alleged agent, Nikhil Gupta, was publicly charged last November and extradited from the Czech Republic to the U.S. in June; when Gupta was indicted, Yadav was described but not named. The American filings include detailed accounts of the alleged plot. They have followed fierce but unspecific Canadian allegations that Indian officials, including diplomats in Canada, orchestrated crimes against critics of the Indian government here, which India calls “ludicrous.”
