Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, has been charged by United States federal prosecutors with conspiring with an Indian government official to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Khalistani terrorist who holds American and Canadian citizenship, on American soil.
Gupta is accused of trying to hire a hitman but the hitman turned out to be an undercover US federal agent. Gupta, 52, is currently detained in the Czech Republic while awaiting extradition to the US. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
A high-ranking Indian official, whose identity has not been revealed, stands accused of allegedly orchestrating the assassination plot targeting Pannun in New York City. The Financial Times, without naming sources, last week reported that US authorities had busted the assassination plot against Pannun.
