Indian Citizen Accused of Murder-for-Hire on US Soil Denies Charges
TL;DR
Nikhil Gupta, an Indian citizen accused of plotting the murder of a Sikh separatist in New York, denies the charges and claims to be a law-abiding businessman caught in the crossfire between the United States and the Indian government. Gupta's lawyer argues that there is no evidence linking him to the alleged plot and alleges that he received adverse legal advice during his detention in the Czech Republic. The U.S. indictment against Gupta accuses him of using an alias, but his lawyer asserts that this is a case of mistaken identity. The Indian Supreme Court is set to hear the case in January.
