NEW DELHI – India has asked the United States to share intelligence on Sikh separatists living there amid investigations into an accusation that an Indian official was linked to a plot to kill a Sikh separatist on American soil, an Indian official said on Tuesday.
The request was made by the National Investigations Agency (NIA), India’s federal anti-terrorism agency, in meetings with visiting FBI Director Christopher Wray, said the official, who works at the NIA and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The issue of what New Delhi says are Sikh separatists operating against India from U.S. soil was discussed in “greater detail by a team of internal security officials from both countries,” the official said. ”India has requested the U.S. officials to share inputs on suspected individuals who have in recent years been recruited and embedded in the separatist movement,” the official said.The NIA said in a statement on Tuesday that Wray met NIA Director General Dinkar Gupta and held discussions on issues including “the acts and activities of Terrorist-Organised Criminal Networks, ongoing investigations in the U.S. in the attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco, investigations of cyber-terror and cyber-crimes of various kinds.”..
