Indian national Nikhil Gupta pleaded guilty in NYC to plotting to assassinate Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, allegedly on behalf of an Indian official, but the plot failed when the hitman was an undercover agent.
Nikhil Gupta, a 54-year-old Indian national, pleaded guilty in a Manhattan federal court to murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-based Sikh separatist leader.
Prosecutors say Gupta was recruited by an Indian government official to carry out the killing in New York, though India has denied any involvement.
Gupta, arrested in the Czech Republic in 2023 and extradited in 2024, faces up to 40 years in prison.
The alleged plot collapsed when the person Gupta hired turned out to be an undercover federal agent.
The case has raised concerns about foreign interference in U.S. affairs and strained U.S.-India relations.
