"Extradition Battle and Fragile Ties: The Pannun Plot's Impact on US-India Relations"
Nikhil Gupta, accused of plotting to kill Khalistan separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, is currently lodged in a prison in Prague. While a municipal court has ruled in favor of his extradition to the US, Gupta can still pursue legal remedies in two higher courts before the Ministry of Justice makes a final decision. His lawyer believes that the second indictment filed by the US authorities, which provides more details of the alleged crime, may help Gupta's case. Gupta's family has also approached the Supreme Court in India, claiming violations of his fundamental rights during his detention in Czech custody.
