The Financial Times newspaper on Nov. 22 first reported the thwarted plot against Pannun in the United States.
The White House said it was treating the issue with "utmost seriousness" and had raised it with India at the "seniormost levels".
The foiled plot and the U.S. concerns were reported two months after Canada said it was looking at credible allegations linking Indian agents to the June murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, another Sikh separatist, in a Vancouver suburb.
