In November last year, US federal prosecutors charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta of working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun in New York.

Constructive dialogue with India on inquiry into Pannun murder plot: US official

In November last year, US federal prosecutors charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta of working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun in New York.

The US has consistently pressed India for updates on the Indian investigation into the alleged foiled plot to kill Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and made it clear that it seeks accountability in the case, a senior Biden administration official said on Wednesday.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the US raised the issue directly at the most senior levels of the Indian government.
Campbell made the comments at a virtual media briefing on his and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's visit to India last week.
"We have had constructive dialogue with India on this topic and I would say that they have been responsive to our concerns," he said.
"We've made clear that we seek accountability from the Government of India and we have consistently asked for updates on the Indian committee of inquiry's investigations," the senior official said.
"And I would just simply say that we raised this issue directly with the Indian government...at the most senior levels between our two sides," he said.
Campbell was responding to a question on whether the 'murder-for-hire' plot targeting Pannun was raised during meetings that he and Sullivan held with their Indian counterparts.
In November last year, US federal prosecutors charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta of working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun in New York.
Pannun, wanted in India on terror charges, holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada.
Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic in June last year, was extradited to the US on June 14.
Following the allegations by the US, India appointed a high-level inquiry committee to look into the inputs provided by the US on the plot.
In April, The Washington Post named an Indian official for allegedly plotting to assassinate Pannun on American soil.
Asked about reports suggesting that the plot was the work of some rogue elements, Campbell did not give a direct reply but said further information in the case is likely to come through law enforcement channels.
"I don't really have anything further to add to what I already said. I will say that we also believe that Indian colleagues are looking carefully at what potential institutional reforms might be necessary," he said.
"In the wake of some of these allegations and reports that you described, so look those discussions continue between the United States and India and I think anything further is likely to come through law enforcement channels," US Deputy Secretary of State said.
Following Gupta's extradition, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said it "makes clear that the Justice Department will not tolerate attempts to silence or harm American citizens." "Nikhil Gupta will now face justice in an American courtroom for his involvement in an alleged plot, directed by an employee of the Indian government, to target and assassinate a US citizen for his support of the Sikh separatist movement in India," he said.
An indictment filed by US prosecutors in a federal court in New York alleged that an Indian government employee, identified as "CC-1" directed Gupta to arrange the assassination of Pannun.
The prosecutors allege that Gupta hired a hitman to kill Pannun and paid USD 15,000 in advance.
Gupta, through his attorney, has denied the charges and said that he has been "unfairly charged".

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed the US for not giving any “credible information” or “evidence” so far of India's involvement.

Pannun murder plot: Russia backs India, slams US for 'unfounded accusations' 

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed the US for not giving any &ldquo;credible information&rdquo; or &ldquo;evidence&rdquo; so far of India's involvement.

Weighing on the row over the assassination bid on Khalistani separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Russia rejected the United States's assertion that Indian agents were involved in the plot.
Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed the US for not giving any &ldquo;credible information&rdquo; or &ldquo;evidence&rdquo; so far of India's involvement.
She claimed that the Biden administration was trying to &ldquo;unbalance the internal political situation&rdquo; in India and &ldquo;complicate&rdquo; the ongoing general elections.
&ldquo;Washington lacks a simple understanding of India's national mentality and history, as America continues to make unfounded accusations about religious freedoms. Washington's actions clearly constitute interference in India's internal affairs&hellip;As for speculations, since there is no evidence, it is not acceptable&hellip;They are not respecting India as a state,&rdquo; Zakharova said during an address, according to the state-controlled RT TV.
She further slammed the US for &ldquo;wrongful accusations&rdquo; against several other countries.
&ldquo;Hard to imagine a more repressive regime than Washington in international and national affairs,&rdquo; she added.

During a Congressional hearing, the Biden administration called it a serious issue that has been raised at the highest levels.

Working with India to hold those behind Pannun assassination plot accountable, says US

During a Congressional hearing, the Biden administration called it a serious issue that has been raised at the highest levels.

The United States is working with the Indian government to hold accountable those behind a plot to kill Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil, according to the Biden administration.
An Indian national, Nikhil Gupta, was charged by federal prosecutors in November last year in connection with his involvement in a foiled plot to assassinate Pannun, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada.
US federal prosecutors have charged that Gupta was working with an Indian government employee and had agreed to pay an assassin USD 1,00,000 to kill Pannun, who lives in New York City.
India has already constituted a probe committee to investigate the allegations.
During a Congressional hearing on Wednesday, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, "This is a serious issue. A serious issue between the United States and India. The Department of Justice has alleged that an Indian citizen at the behest of someone working in the Indian government has attempted to kill an American citizen on American soil. We take this in the administration incredibly seriously and have raised it at the highest levels with India."&nbsp;
"We are at the moment working with India to encourage India to hold accountable, those responsible for this terrible crime. What we can see is that India itself has announced that they have created a committee of inquiry to look into this matter and we ask them to work quickly and transparently to make sure justice is done," Lu said.
Lu was responding to a question from Congressman Dean Phillips from Minnesota, who asked if sanctions similar to those placed on more than 500 individuals relating to the killing of Alexei Navalny in Russia are being considered for those believed to be behind the plot to kill Pannun.

Pannun 'murder' plot: Nikhil Gupta can be extradited to US rules Czech court

Czech website <a class="" href="http://www.seznamzpravy.cz/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow, noopener">http://www.seznamzpravy.cz</a>, which first reported on the appeals decision, said Gupta had argued his identity was mistaken and that he was not the man the US was looking for. He described the case as political, as per The Indian Express.&nbsp;

Nikhil Gupta, an Indian accused by the US for his alleged involvement in Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun murder plot can be extradited to the United States.
This was ruled by a Czech appeals court on 19 January, The Indian Express reported quoting the Czech Justice Ministry.
However, the final decision on Gupta's extradition will be taken by the country's Justice Minister at a later date, the report said. &nbsp;
Nikhil Gupta was charged by US prosecutors in New York in an indictment unsealed in November last year for working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun, who holds dual US and Canadian citizenships.
Gupta was arrested in Prague, the Czech Republic on June 30, 2023, and is being held there currently. The US government is seeking his extradition to America.

India has formed an inquiry committee to investigate the charges mentioned in an indictment filed in a New York court accusing Gupta and an Indian official of orchestrating a foiled murder plot to kill a US citizen.
