The Indian man charged in an alleged plot to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun had been detained at the request of the United States, the government of the Czech Republic has told NDTV. Nikhil Gupta was detained at the Prague airport in June and, the Czech government said, the US had submitted an extradition request two months later.
Responding to a series of queries sent by NDTV, the Czech Republic's Ministry of Justice said the extradition had been requested for conspiracy to commit "murder for hire".
