spoke with his cousin, Avinash Yadav, the relative told Reuters on Saturday in their ancestral town about 100 km from the capital New
Delhi.The US Department of Justice charged Yadav with leading a not successful plot to murder Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun
Yadav was an official of India’& rsquo; s Research and Analysis Wing spy service, according to the indictment unsealed on Thursday.India,
which has stated it was examining the allegations, stated Yadav was no longer a civil servant, without saying whether he had actually been
an intelligence officer.“& ldquo; The household has no information & rdquo; about him working for the spy company, Yadav’& rsquo; s
cousin said in the town of Pranpura in Haryana state
“& ldquo; He never ever pointed out anything about it,” & rdquo; regardless of the 2 talking to each other routinely.“& ldquo; For us
he is still working for the CRPF,” & rdquo; the federal Central Reserve Police Force, which he participated 2009, said Avinash Yadav, 28
“& ldquo; He informed us he is deputy commandant” & rdquo; and was trained as a paratrooper –-- a relative of Yadav saidThe cousin
stated he did not understand where Yadav was however that he copes with his wife and a child who was born in 2015, Reuters reported.Indian
authorities have not talked about Yadav’& rsquo; s whereabouts
The Washington Post, citing American officials, reported on Thursday that Yadav was still in India and that the US was anticipated to seek
his extradition.His mom, Sudesh Yadav, 65, stated she was still in shock
“& ldquo; What can I state? I do not understand whether the US government is telling the reality or not.”“& rdquo; & ldquo; He has
been working for the country,” & rdquo; she said.The United States implicates Yadav of directing another Indian citizen, Nikhil Gupta, who
it alleges paid a gunman paid $15,000, to eliminate Pannun.But in Pranpura, Yadav’& rsquo; s cousin pointed to the family’& rsquo; s
modest, single-storey home, stating, “& ldquo; Where will a lot cash originated from? Can you see any Audis and Mercedes lined up outside
this home?”& rdquo; Most of the town & rsquo; s almost 500 families have actually traditionally sent out boys to sign up with the security
forces, residents said.Yadav’& rsquo; s dad, who passed away in 2007, was an officer with India’& rsquo; s border force till he died in
2007, and his bro deals with the authorities in Haryana, said Avinash Yadav.Another cousin, Amit Yadav, 41, stated Vikash Yadav had been a
peaceful boy interested in books and sports and was a national-level marksman.“& ldquo; Only the government of India and Vikash understand
what has occurred,” & rdquo; he said, including that Indian authorities should inform them.If the government “& ldquo; abandons & rdquo;
a paramilitary officer, Amit Yadav stated, “& ldquo; then who will work for them?”& rdquo; Avinash Yadav stated: “& ldquo; We desire
the Indian government to support us, they need to inform us what has happened
Otherwise where will we go?”& rdquo; The post Former Indian authorities desired by FBI initially appeared on Ariana News.
