Last month, US federal prosecutors charged Nikhil Gupta with conspiring to kill Pannun, an American and Canadian citizen known for his Sikh extremist views. The Department of Justice claimed that Gupta, along with an unnamed Indian official, orchestrated the plot and even hired someone in the US to carry out the assassination.

The Czech Ministry of Justice confirmed Gupta's arrest and provisional custody, disclosing that the action was taken at the request of the United States. Vladimir Repka, a spokesperson for the ministry, mentioned that the US submitted an extradition request, citing charges that include conspiracy to commit murder for hire, according to US authorities.

In response to the allegations, India has initiated an inquiry panel to investigate the links between the accused Indian official and Nikhil Gupta. The US Principal Deputy NSA, Jonathan Finer, conveyed the importance of accountability during his recent visit to India. The White House issued a statement acknowledging India's establishment of a committee to probe the "lethal plotting" and emphasized the need to hold those responsible accountable.

The specific Indian officials with whom Finer discussed the issue were not mentioned in the official readout. The situation continues to unfold as the legal proceedings progress, shedding light on the complex international dimensions of the case.

Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries.
