The external affairs ministry (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India constituted a high-level enquiry committee to look into the security concerns raised by the US government after they shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organised criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others.
“The inputs are a cause of concern for both countries and they decided to take necessary follow-up action,” MEA spokesperson Bagchi said.
“During the course of discussions with the US on bilateral security cooperation, the US side shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organised criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others,” Bagchi said.
Bagchi further highlighted that India takes such inputs seriously and relevant departments are probing the issue. “We indicated that India takes such inputs seriously since they impinge on our national security interests as well, and relevant departments were already examining the issue,” Bagchi said.
