Indian National Charged in Alleged NYC Assassination Plot of Sikh Separatist

The U.S. Justice Department has charged an Indian national, Nikhil Gupta, for allegedly participating in a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by an Indian government employee to assassinate a leader in the Sikh separatist movement on American soil. The plot was foiled by U.S. law enforcement, but it raises concerns about India's actions abroad and may complicate the relationship between Washington and New Delhi. Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic, faces charges of murder for hire and murder-for-hire conspiracy. The Biden administration has expressed concern to the Indian government and is providing information to aid their internal investigation.
