"Issues in the context of US inputs are already being examined by relevant departments," foreign ministry spokesman Aridam Bagchi said.
India said it is examining US inputs on the "nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others" amid reports that the US thwarted a plan to allegedly assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil.
"India takes such inputs seriously since it impinges on our own national security interests as well. Issues in the context of US inputs are already being examined by relevant departments," foreign ministry spokesman Aridam Bagchi said in response to media queries.
Today, the White House said the US is "treating a reported plot to kill a Sikh separatist on American soil with utmost seriousness" and has raised the issue with the Indian government "at the senior-most levels", reported news agency Reuters.
