Indian national Nikhil Gupta, implicated in an alleged plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has been extradited from the Czech Republic, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons website update.

Gupta was arrested in the Czech Republic last year in June at the request of the US government on charges of being involved in a plot to assassinate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

He is expected to be produced before a federal court in New York on Monday. An inmate search by name on the Bureau of Prisons website showed on Sunday that Gupta, 52, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn, a federal administrative detention facility.
