Modi government rescued former marines from Qatar, will Modi government be able to save Nikhil Gupta also from America?


New Delhi : Nikhil Gupta, accused of plotting the murder of a Sikh separatist in the US, will be tried in a US court. 53-year-old Gupta was arrested in the Czech Republic on June 30, 2023 at the request of the US government for his involvement in the conspiracy to murder Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu in New York. Gupta was extradited to the US on June 14. According to US Attorney General Merrick Garland, Gupta is accused of contract killing and conspiracy. India has already set up an inquiry committee to investigate the allegations. US investigators claim that Gupta was hired by an agent of the Indian government. If Gupta is found guilty, he can be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years imprisonment for each charge. At the same time, Gupta is calling himself innocent in this case. Now the question is whether the Modi government will be able to get Nikhil Gupta released from the US in the same way as it was successful in bringing 8 former marines sentenced to death in Qatar to India. However, there are differences between the governance system of Qatar and the US. Qatar is ruled by the Emir. In contrast, America has a democratic system.

How were the ex-marines released?

In February this year, Qatar released all eight former Indian marines. This release was described as a diplomatic success of the Modi government. Before the release of the marines, PM Modi had met Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. According to the BBC report, the release of the marines has happened at a time when India had made a $78 billion LNG deal with Qatar. This deal was also considered the main reason behind the release of the marines. This deal between India and Qatar was for 20 years. Qatar was the largest exporter of LNG (liquefied natural gas) till some time ago. However, later America left it behind. Qatar was restless to regain its dominance in the global market. For this, Qatar was looking for new markets in Asia. This deal with India gave it a big opportunity.
