US Ambassador Eric Garcetti calls alleged government involvement in assassination plot a “red line”

The US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti on Monday (April 1) said the involvement of a government or its employee in an alleged assassination plot is a red line that should not be crossed. Speaking to ANI yesterday, Garcetti referred to the alleged plot to kill a Sikh separatist in New York.

US authorities have alleged that an Indian government employee is involved in an assassination plot on US soil. The US Ambassador called this an “unacceptable red line” and welcomed India’s probe into the matter.
