Prominent Sikh separatist says FBI has warned him of new threat on his life
The warnings came as Nikhil Gupta awaits a Nov. 20 sentencing in Manhattan federal court for a 2023 assassination plot.
- On Tuesday, the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warned Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of a new credible threat to his life.
- The warning comes as Nikhil Gupta, a man from India who pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges in February, awaits a November 20 sentencing in Manhattan for plotting Pannun's assassination in 2023.
- FBI agents visited Pannun last Thursday to warn him, while the Royal Canadian Mounted Police contacted him by telephone on Tuesday; neither agency disclosed plot details.
- Describing himself as "unfazed and undaunted," Pannun urged President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to confront Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over threats to sovereignty.
- Pannun cited Canadian "Duty to Warn" advisories issued to Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the former Khalistan Referendum leader, weeks before his June 18, 2023, assassination in Surrey, British Columbia.
