Amidst the extradition proceedings of Nikhil Gupta, charged in the US for a foiled plot to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the Czech Ministry of Justice asserts that India has "no jurisdiction" in the matter. Gupta's family had approached the Supreme Court seeking intervention. The spokesperson clarified that Indian judicial authorities lack jurisdiction, addressing concerns raised in the Supreme Court petition. The Ministry denies claims of Gupta's inadequate legal representation, emphasizing Czech legislation. It refutes allegations of restricted consular contact and inappropriate diet in prison. Extradition proceedings continue after the US charged Gupta with conspiring to kill Pannun.
