An Indian committee established after a foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist in the United States, a case that dented ties between the allies, has demanded swift "legal action", New Delhi said Wednesday.
The 2023 case severely tested relations between Washington and New Delhi, although India's response represented a sharp contrast to its defiant approach to similar charges from Canada.
"The committee has submitted its report to the government, and recommended legal action against an individual," India's information ministry said in a statement, saying justice "must be completed expeditiously".
The committee was established in 2023 to investigate "activities of some organised criminal groups, terrorist organisations, drug peddlers, etc., who undermined the security interests of both India and the US", the statement read.
It did not specifically reference the alleged murder plot, nor did the statement name the individual, or even state their nationality.
