India’s Spy Chief Cleared Plot to Kill Sikh Activist, Post Says

An alleged plot to kill a US citizen and Sikh activist on American soil last year was approved by senior-level members of India’s intelligence agency, including its chief at the time, the Washington Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter it didn’t identify.
