The Delhi Police Special Cell had arrested Vikash Yadav, charged by the US over the Gurpatwant Singh Pannun case, in an extortion case.

Vikash Yadav directed a plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, the U.S. indictment says.

Vikash Yaday was reportedly arrested by Delhi Police’s Special Cell in an extortion case in December 2023, less than three weeks after the US Department of Justice identified him as "CC-1", a co-conspirator, last November for allegedly plotting to murder Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

The US justice department has charged 'CC-1' with ‘murder for hire’ and ‘money-laundering’, in connection with the Gurpatwant Singh Pannun assassination

RAW officer, Yadav was also arrested last year in December and granted bail in April this year. He is on FBI’s 'most wanted' list.

The arrest came weeks after Vikash Yadav was mentioned by the US Department of Justice as a co-conspirator in the alleged Gurpatwant Pannun murder plot.

US prosecutors charge Indian government employee Vikash Yadav with orchestrating foiled plot to kill pro-Khalistan separatist in US-India relations scandal.

The US Justice Department unsealed the indictment of Vikash Yadav, 39, alleging he led a plot to murder a Sikh separatist in New York.
