London, A report from a UK newspaper has brought to light an alleged plot by India to kidnap a diamond tycoon in the Caribbean, a plan purportedly executed on British soil. This revelation adds to a series of accusations against India for targeting its opponents abroad.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Daily Mail reported that Gurdip Bath, a special envoy of India to Britain, allegedly orchestrated the plan to abduct Mehul Choksi, a diamond tycoon, in Antigua at the behest of the Indian state. Bath, an India-born resident of an £8 million mansion in Mayfair, near the Ritz, is accused of traveling with a group from London to Antigua to execute the abduction. The plan reportedly involved Barbara Jarabik, a London-based property consultant, who is said to have lured Choksi to an apartment near his home. There, it is claimed, he was attacked by individuals posing as police officers.

The court claim in Antigua and Barbuda, filed by Mr. Choksi, alleges that he was beaten, tasered, bound to a wheelchair, and forcibly taken on a yacht bound for Dominica.

This incident follows a report by The New York Times about federal prosecutors in the United States charging an Indian national, Nikhil Gupta, with an attempt to assassinate Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in New York City. This indictment is reportedly linked to the June assassination of Sikh Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, potentially straining diplomatic relations between the United States, Canada, and India.

These allegations, if proven true, suggest a pattern of overseas operations by India targeting its dissenters, raising serious questions about international law and diplomatic norms.
