Pannun Murder Plot: Nikhil Gupta’s US Sentencing Delayed Over Victim’s Request · timesnownews.com

A man named Nikhil Gupta has a court case in the United States.

The case is connected to something called the Pannun murder plot.

Mr. Gupta was supposed to find out what would happen to him on September 25, a day called his sentencing.

A judge usually decides the punishment at a sentencing hearing.

The person who was the target of the plot wanted to come to the hearing.

He wanted to tell the court how he feels about what happened.

But that person will be away from the United States on September 25.

The government's lawyers asked the court to move the date to a later time.

The court agreed and moved the sentencing to November 20, 2026.

Now the person can come to court and share what he wants to say.
