Charges filed against Hindu Extremist working with Indian Government in plot to kill U.S. citizen
Several Indian government employees, including 52-year-old Nikhil Gupta, are accused of plotting to murder a US Sikh leader advocating for Punjab’s secession. A stakeholder in international trafficking, Gupta was arrested in the Czech Republic on June 30, 2023. The alleged conspiracy involved an undercover US officer being offered $100,000 to kill the activist. Gupta now faces potential murder-for-hire charges. This ongoing investigation involves multiple international agencies.
