Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India is extending necessary consular assistance to Nikhil Gupta.
India received consular access on three occasions to Nikhil Gupta, who has been in a jail in the Czech capital of Prague following the US accusing him of involvement in a foiled plot to kill a Khalistani terrorist on American soil. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi also said India is extending necessary consular assistance to Mr Gupta.
"An Indian national is currently in the custody of the Czech authorities pending a request for extradition to the US. We have received consular access at least on three occasions," Mr Bagchi said at his weekly media briefing in response to a question on the case involving Mr Gupta.
"We are extending necessary consular assistance as per requirement," he said.
