Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a petition filed by an unidentified family member of Indian national Nikhil Gupta, who is accused in a US court of plotting an assassination attempt in New York, to grant Gupta consular access and legal aid to challenge his indictment and extradition. Nikhil Gupta, a Delhi-based businessman, was arrested in the Czech Republic in 2023 and the US charged him for plotting to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Sikh separatist leader. Nikhil Gupta's name surfaced for the first time in the US indictment on November 29 in which he was accused of plotting to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Nikhil Gupta's unnamed relative said Nikhil Gupta was held in solitary confinement and sought Supreme Court's intervention.
