United States District Judge Victor Marrero has denied a motion for defence materials in the case of Indian national Nikhil Gupta, charged with involvement in a murder-for-hire plot targeting Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US soil. The judge cited federal rules indicating that Gupta has no right to discovery before arraignment, and the government assured it would provide discovery promptly upon Gupta’s appearance and arraignment in the case. Gupta, arrested in Prague in June 2023, faces extradition to the US for his alleged role in the foiled plot.
