The United States government has objected to a motion by Nikhil Gupta - the Indian national accused of conspiring to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun - seeking proof of charges against him.
Allegations an Indian conspired to assassinate an American-Canadian citizen - Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun - will be examined, Prime Minister Modi said Tuesday, in his first public remarks since US prosecutors made the charges public.
Nikhil Gupta, the man accused by the United States of plotting to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has alleged multiple violations of fundamental rights as he is in prison in Prague waiting for extradition to the US.
Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, has been charged by US federal prosecutors with conspiring with an Indian government official to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Khalistani terrorist who holds American and Canadian citizenship, on US soil.
The US indictment accuses an Indian official of recruiting Nikhil Gupta to kill Pannun, linking Gupta to the murder of another Khalistani separatist in Canada. These allegations raise questions about the nature of India-US ties and their response to similar accusations from Canada.
