In a shocking revelation, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, announced murder-for-hire charges against Indian national Nikhil Gupta. The charges are linked to Gupta’s alleged involvement in a thwarted plot to assassinate a U.S. citizen in New York City, a prominent advocate for the Sikh separatist movement.

The target was an attorney and political activist of Indian origin residing in New York City, known for advocating the establishment of a sovereign state for Sikhs.
