Hitman linked to Modi govt: lawyers

Man pleads guilty in plot to kill activist

An Indian national admitted to his role in a foiled 2023 criminal plot to kill a Sikh activist with US citizenship who was living in New York.

Nikhil Gupta, 54, pleaded guilty at a federal court hearing in New York last Friday to three charges linked to a plan to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, an activist who publicly supported establishing a Sikh state in Punjab, the state in northern India where most of the adherents to the religion live.

Mr Gupta was arrested in June 2023 in the Czech Republic and extradited to the US. By pleading guilty, he avoids trial in a case that inflamed tensions in India's relationships with the US and Canada.
