Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, has been extradited to the United States from the Czech Republic on charges of plotting the murder of Khalistani terrorist and US citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Gupta, 52, is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. His extradition follows a Czech court's decision last month to reject his petition against extradition. Gupta is expected to appear in a federal court in New York on Monday. This development comes ahead of US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's visit to New Delhi for the annual ICET dialogue, where the issue may be addressed.
