Why did they get a bunch of goofs in their twenties to carry this out then?
It's easier to contract out to existing gangs apparently.
Why not fly in some serious people for the job who go back to India after?
(Im)plausible deniability.
If a crack squad flies in, kills him, and flies home, that’s a pretty good indication India was involved.
By convincing a local group to do it, India can pretend they had nothing to do with it.
They can pretend either way but the chances of the assassins getting caught would be way lower.
Sounds like you've been watching too many Hollywood spy movies
I got the idea from the Sopranos.
Point stands
Which point?
In case you weren't aware, the Sopranos is also fictional.
If they were rational they wouldn't have done it
Wouldn’t that be easier to trace if one gets spotted?
It's probably not Modi himself who ordered the killing. More like one of his peons lower on the totem pole. It might even be someone outside the government paid some bakshish to said peon.
