"During the course of recent discussions on India-US security cooperation, the US side shared some inputs pertaining to the nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others," Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Arindam Bagchi said.

Also, Bagchi said the inputs are a cause of concern for both countries and they decided to take necessary follow-up action, "On its part, India takes such inputs seriously since it impinges on our own national security interests as well. Issues in the context of US inputs are already being examined by relevant departments."
