US Court Rejects Claim Of Summons Being Served On Ajit Doval

A US court has said that no complaint was delivered to National Security Advisor Ajit Doval during his visit to Washington in February, dismissing a claim by Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun that court documents, including a summons, had been served on the top Indian official.

“The Court has reviewed the above letter and attached exhibits… and finds that service was not completed. The Complaint was not delivered to a member of the hotel management or staff or any officers or agents providing security for Defendant, as required by the Court’s Order," US District Judge Katherine Polk Failla said in the recent order.

Pannun has filed a civil lawsuit against Doval and another Indian national Nikhil Gupta. Gupta has been accused by federal prosecutors of working with an Indian government employee in a foiled plot to kill Pannun on American soil.
