ordered to be held without bond until a hearing on June 28
In a federal court in New York on Monday, Nikhil Gupta, the Indian national suspected of participating in a plot to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun for hire on American territory, entered a not guilty plea.

52-year-old Gupta was recently deported from the Czech Republic, where he was detained last year, on accusations by US investigators that he worked with an Indian government official to kill American citizen Pannun.

Gupta was brought before a US Magistrate court, which decided to hold him without the ability to post bond until his upcoming hearing on June 28. Jeffrey Chabrowe, his attorney, called the matter "complex" and that he would 
pursue a vigorous defence.
