Indian national Nikhil Gupta, accused of being involved in a murder-for-hire plot against Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has been extradited from the Czech Republic to the United States. Gupta, who was arrested last year, is alleged to have hired a hitman to kill Pannun and paid $15,000 in advance. He is currently lodged in a Brooklyn detention center and is expected to appear in a federal court in New York on Monday. India has denied involvement in the case.
