US Lawmakers Express Concerns Over Gupta's Arrest in Prague and Pannun Case, Warn of Potential Damage to India-US Ties

The family of Nikhil Gupta, who is accused by US authorities of plotting to kill Khalistan separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has petitioned the Supreme Court of India to intervene in his extradition proceedings in the Czech Republic. The family argues that Gupta's arrest in Prague was illegal and his extradition to the US is unsafe due to threats to his life. The court has scheduled a hearing for January 4, 2022, and the family is seeking legal and humanitarian aid for Gupta, including consular access and financial assistance.
