A U.S. judge in New York has denied Indian national Nikhil Gupta’s request to force prosecutors to turn over additional Drug Enforcement Administration records tied to his arrest in Prague, rejecting defence claims that two DEA officials played such central roles that their files must be searched for possible evidence.
Gupta, also known as “Nick,” has pleaded not guilty to murder-for-hire and conspiracy charges and is scheduled to face trial on Nov. 3, 2025, in the Southern District of New York.
