Constitutional Court: Czechia can extradite India’s Nikhil Gupta to US

Czechia can extradite Indian national Nikhil Gupta to the US, where he faces charges of conspiring to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader in New York.

The Constitutional Court has rejected the complaint filed by the businessman against the Prague High Court, which approved the extradition in January.

Gupta's indictment was announced last year by New York prosecutors, who said the plot was to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader in New York. The accused faces up to 20 years in prison. He was arrested at Prague airport at the end of June last year.
