The family of Nikhil Gupta, charged in the plot against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, seeks Supreme Court assistance. They claim Gupta's illegal detention in the Czech Republic and request intervention from the Ministry of External Affairs and Home Ministry. Gupta, held since June, alleges a political vendetta between the US and Indian governments. Procedural failures in the extradition proceedings are cited, including the absence of an arrest warrant and denial of basic rights. The Czech Ministry of Justice confirms Gupta's arrest at the US's request, accusing him of involvement in a 'murder for hire' plot targeting Pannun in the US.
