Gupta in Indian Murder for Hire Case Stops Paying Lawyer Who Now Moves to Withdraw

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 25 – Back in late 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, a superseding indictment was unsealed alleging murder-for-hire charges against Indian national Nikhil Gupta, aka Nick, 52, in connection with his participation in a foiled plot to assassinate a U.S. citizen in NYC - reportedly Sikh Gurpatwant Singh Pannun

Czech authorities arrested and detained Gupta in Prague’s Pankrac prison.

On June 17, 2024, Gupta was presented in the SDNY Magistrates Court. Inner City Press thread

On June 28, with Khalistan protesters out on Worth Street, Gupta was produced by US Marshals before Judge Victor Marrero. Inner City Press was there - thread

On October 17, the US unsealed a second superseding indictment naming a government official, at large, as co-defendant: Indian government employee VIKASH YADAV, a/k/a “Vikas,” YADAV is at large."

On October 18, Inner City Press live tweeted - and later asked Sikhs demonstrating on Worth Street why Modi security official Ajit Doval did not come to the US for the UN General Assembly... Thread

  On October 25, Gupta's lawyer wrote in that he is no longer being paid and asks to withdraw from the case. Letter on Patreon here.

The case is US v. Gupta, et al., 23-cr-289 (Marrero)
