US Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster on Monday said that a full investigation will be carried out on the attack on Sikh leader Manjit Singh G.K. in California last week.

After an Akali Dal delegation led by Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal called on him, Juster tweeted: "Productive meeting with Minister @HarsimratBadal_ and the delegation of Sikh leaders. We assured Minister Badal that incidents of violence in the United States are taken seriously and fully investigated by local law enforcement authorities."

Akali Dal leader and President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Manjit Singh G.K. was attacked by alleged pro-Khalistan activists in Yuba City Gurdwara in California on Saturday.
