President Joe Biden dispatched CIA Director William Burns to address an alleged plot targeting US-based Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. US authorities revealed a conspiracy implicating an Indian national in hiring a hitman for the attempted murder. CIA Director Burns emphasized the need for an Indian investigation during high-level discussions, including Biden's personal mention to PM Narendra Modi at the G20 summit.
