"Supreme Court Examines Indian Arrested in US Murder Plot, Seeks Consular Help"

The Supreme Court of India has directed the family of Nikhil Gupta, an Indian man accused by the United States of conspiring to kill a Sikh separatist, to approach a court in the Czech Republic for relief over claims of religious and human rights violations. Gupta is currently in prison in Prague awaiting extradition to the United States. The court refused immediate relief and scheduled a hearing for January 4, instructing the petitioner to serve a copy to the central government. The petition alleges irregularities in Gupta's arrest and violations of his fundamental rights, including forced consumption of beef and pork.
