director, to visit India to discuss the suspected assassination plot and press the Indian government to hold those involved responsible, according to U.S. officials familiar with the events.

Indian’s Ministry of External Affairs said Wednesday that the United States had “shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others” and that the government had convened a committee to investigate.

That individual, who was not identified, is accused of recruiting Mr. Gupta, who prosecutors say then hired a hit man to kill Mr. Pannun and provided personal information about him, including his home address in New York City and details about his daily activities.
