Familial Plea Amidst Accusations: The Nikhil Gupta Legal Odyssey
In a legal saga unfolding on the international stage, the family of Indian national Nikhil Gupta has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Supreme Court. Accused of allegedly plotting the assassination of Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Gupta’s family seeks the government of India’s intervention for his release from prison in the Czech Republic.
