The United States has asked India to cooperate in the probe of the death of a Khalistani terrorist, who was found dead in the US state of California. The terrorist, who was identified as Jagtar Singh Johal, was a member of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), a designated terrorist organization.
Johal was found dead in his apartment in Yuba City, California, on September 18. The police are still investigating the cause of death, but they have ruled out foul play.
The US has asked India to provide information on Johal's activities in India and his links to the KLF. The US is also interested in knowing whether Johal was planning any attacks in the US.
The Indian government has assured the US that it will cooperate fully in the probe. The government has also said that it is committed to combating terrorism and will not allow any safe haven for terrorists on its soil.
The KLF is a Sikh separatist group that is fighting for an independent Khalistan state in India. The group has been responsible for a number of terrorist attacks in India, including the assassination of the then-Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, in 1984.
The US has been working with India to combat terrorism. In 2016, the US and India signed a joint declaration on combating terrorism, which pledged to cooperate on intelligence sharing, counter-terrorism training, and other measures.
The death of Jagtar Singh Johal is a setback in the fight against terrorism. However, it is important to note that the US and India are committed to working together to combat this threat.
