00:00 A Czech appeals court has given the green light for the extradition of the 52-year-old
00:05 Indian man Nikhil Gupta to the United States.
00:08 Gupta stands accused by the US federal prosecutors of collaborating with an Indian government
00:12 official in an alleged plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwan Singh Pannu
00:17 residing in New York.
00:19 The Prague High Court has upheld the lower court's decision, which has permitted Gupta's
00:23 extradition despite his defense claims of mistaken identity and political motivation.
00:29 The final decision now rests with Justice Minister Pavel Blazek.
00:33 The ministry spokesperson has said that the final say on Gupta's extradition now lies
00:36 with Justice Minister Pavel Blazek.
00:39 The determination will be made once all parties have received the court's decision.
00:43 However, the timeline for the decision remains uncertain as of now.
00:47 Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic on June 30 at the request of the US, faces
00:52 the charge of murder for hire and conspiracy to commit murder for hire.
00:56 Each count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
01:00 Gupta's defense centers on the case of mistaken identity, asserting that he is not the individual
01:05 sought by the US authorities and labels the case as a politically motivated one.
01:10 Despite Gupta's appeal against the lower court's decision, the Prague High Court has upheld
01:14 the ruling, leaving the final decision in the hands of Justice Minister of Czech Republic.
01:19 The US Justice Department has also charged Gupta on November 20 for his alleged involvement
01:23 in the murder plot.
01:25 The US officials claim that Gupta had agreed to pay $100,000 to an assassination, with
01:30 an advance payment of $15,000 already made on June 9, 2023.
01:35 However, the individual he contacted turned out to be a confidential source working for
01:39 the US law enforcement.
01:41 A US official has stated that Gupta's alleged involvement in the murder for hire plot is
01:45 a serious matter.
01:47 He had agreed to pay a substantial amount for the assassination, but unfortunately, the
01:51 individual he approached was working undercover for the law enforcement.
01:56 Terming the charges a matter of concern, the New Delhi has also announced a high-level
02:00 probe into the allegations, emphasizing that they are contrary to the government policy.
02:05 A spokesperson said that the charges against Gupta are a matter of concern.
02:08 The government is launching a high-level probe to investigate the allegations and determine
02:12 the facts surrounding the case.
02:14 The charges go against the government policies.
02:18 As the extradition case awaits the Justice Minister's decision, the case continues to
02:22 raise questions about international cooperation and the complexities surrounding the extradition
02:27 proceedings.
