Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, pleaded not guilty in a New York federal court to charges of conspiring to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US soil. Gupta, 52, was extradited from the Czech Republic and accused of collaborating with an Indian official. He was denied bail and will remain detained until his next court appearance on June 28. His lawyer, Jeffrey Chabrowe, called the case "complex" and vowed a vigorous defense. The plot's target, Pannun, is an American citizen and a prominent Khalistani separatist leader.
