The Czech Republic has confirmed that the Indian man, Nikhil Gupta, who was detained in June at Prague airport, was arrested at the request of the United States. The US has charged Gupta with conspiring to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil. The Czech Ministry of Justice stated that the US submitted an extradition request in August for the crime of conspiracy to commit murder for hire. The Municipal Court in Prague has ruled the extradition admissible, but the decision is not yet in legal force. Gupta has filed a petition in the Indian Supreme Court, claiming violations of fundamental rights and requesting the Indian government's intervention in his extradition. The Supreme Court has asked Gupta's lawyer to approach a court in the Czech Republic and will hear the matter on January 4.
