NEW DELHI: The Indian intelligence agency RAW is facing criticism over its alleged involvement that it was part of a plot to kill a well-known Sikh separatist leader in the United States.
The incident exposed the covert activities of “Rogue Assassins Wing” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Official investigations in India suggest RAW agents planned the plot against Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, known for criticizing Indian government policies and Modi’s Hindutva ideology. The revelation has sparked widespread condemnation domestically and internationally.
Concerns mount over the erosion of democratic values and the rule of law in India as RAW’s transformation from a research and analysis entity to an alleged group of assassins is exposed.
RAW’s Involvement in Silencing Dissent Through Covert Means

Critics argue that under Modi’s leadership, Indian intelligence has leaned towards extremism, using violence to stifle opposition.
