Indian authorities haven't received any request for consular access from Nikhil Gupta, the Indian national extradited to the US from the Czech Republic following allegations of his involvement in a foiled plot to assassinate Khalistani extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

Gupta, who was arrested in the Czech Republic in June last year, was extradited to the US on June 14.

"He was extradited to the US on June 14. We have so far not received any request for consular access from Gupta but his family has got in touch with us," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
