FBI Chief Visits India Amidst Sikh Assassination Plot Indictment

TL;DR
FBI Director Christopher Wray is in India to strengthen security cooperation, but his visit comes after the US accused an Indian government official of being involved in a conspiracy to kill a Sikh separatist in New York City. The alleged target, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, is considered a terrorist by the Indian government but an activist by some Sikhs overseas. The US plot was foiled, and India has denied involvement, setting up a committee to investigate the accusations. While the incident has raised concerns about New Delhi's credibility, analysts believe the chances of a major fallout between the US and India are low, as both countries are committed to countering China.
