US objects to providing defence material to Nikhil Gupta

The US government has objected to provide defence materials to Indian national Nikhil Gupta, detained in a Czech prison on murder-for-hire charges in a alleged foiled assassination attempt on Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, saying it will provide information only upon his appearance in New York court and arraignment in the case.

Gupta was arrested in Prague, the Czech Republic on June 30, 2023. The US government is seeking his extradition to America.
