A guilty plea is where a “plot” stops being rumor and becomes record. On 2026-02-14, U.S. prosecutors said Nikhil Gupta, an Indian man accused in a murder-for-hire scheme targeting a U.S.-based Sikh separatist, pleaded guilty—with prosecutors alleging he was directed by an Indian government official.
