Nikhil Gupta, a 52-year-old Indian national extradited from the Czech Republic to the United States, faces charges related to a murder-for-hire plot against Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Arrested last year at the US government’s request, Gupta is accused of hiring a hitman and paying $415,000 upfront. The extradition, reported by The Washington Post, precedes discussions between US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Indian counterpart Ajit Doval. Gupta denies the allegations, claiming unfair prosecution and asserting no evidence linking him to the plot.
