    Maybe India should stop assassinating/trying to assassinate people on other countries’ soil. It’s not doing a lot for good will.

      Maybe our dearleader should start taking national security more seriously?

      It seems like when they want to fuck your rights, there are always there for that.

      Do their actual job… That’s too much!

        To be honest though it’s happening everywhere - Canada and the US have had cases of this too. They got super mad when our PM called them out on it.

        We would have to solve it through sanctions / diplomatic action, but that’s politically sticky right now, at least for the US and Canada.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nikhil Gupta was extradited on Friday after Blažek gave the green light for the move that was previously approved by Czech courts, the minister wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

    According to the U.S. indictment, Gupta was recruited in May by an unidentified Indian government employee to orchestrate the assassination of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a prominent Sikh separatist leader  living in New York City.

    Gupta’s Czech attorney, Petr Slepička, previously told The Associated Press that he was planning to file a constitutional complain to the country’s highest legal authority and ask the minister not to allow the extradition.

    The indictment says Gupta contacted a criminal associate to help find a hitman to carry out the killing, but that person happened to be a confidential source working with the DEA.

    The charges were the second major recent accusation of complicity of Indian government officials in attempts to kill Sikh separatist figures living in North America.

    In September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were credible allegations that the Indian government had links to the assassination in that country of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
