A Delhi court has canceled non-bailable warrants against former official Vikash Yadav, linked to a foiled plot to assassinate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in the U.S. Yadav’s absence during the previous hearings was attributed to a lawyers’ strike, leading the court to restore his bail surety. Arrested in December 2023 over extortion allegations from a businessman, he was granted bail in April 2024. This case highlights ongoing tensions surrounding Sikh separatism and the implications of international involvement in domestic security matters, emphasizing the need for vigilance in safeguarding national interests and addressing extremism.
