The White House has responded to reports that Indian espionage agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), plotted to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Sikh activist and American citizen, on U.S. soil in 2023.

“This is a serious matter, and we're taking [it] very, very seriously,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a briefing on Monday, adding that an investigation is underway.

Pannun is known as one of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's most vocal critics in the U.S. The report also suggested India’s Research and Analysis Wing was responsible for the separate shooting death of a Sikh activist last June in Canada.

“The government of India has been very clear with us that they are taking this seriously and will investigate. And we expect that accountability from the government based on that,” Jean-Pierre added.
