The vaguely worded press release states that a high-powered enquiry committee has submitted its report – nearly 14 months after it was set up by the Indian government – on activities of some organised criminal groups and terrorist organisations, which undermined the security interests of both India and the United States. The Narendra Modi government was forced to order the probe in November 2023 under pressure from the Biden administration when the US Department of Justice went public regarding the attempt by Indian officials, with the help of criminals, to kill pro-Khalistan campaigner Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in New York. Similar charges have also been levelled by Canada where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in September 2023 that Canada had credible evidence that agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023
