Vikas Yadav, a former RAW officer accused by the US of plotting to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, informed a Delhi court of imminent threats to his life. Yadav, who also faces a kidnapping and extortion case in India, sought exemption from physical court appearances, citing global exposure of his personal details. His plea claimed continuous surveillance by hostile elements and risks of assassination. The court granted his request, scheduling the next hearing for February 3, 2025. US authorities allege Yadav and co-conspirator Nikhil Gupta hired a hitman, unaware the individual was an FBI informant. Yadav denies the charges.
