The court acknowledged the sensitivity of the matter but questioned its jurisdiction in a foreign criminal proceeding. Gupta claims to be a law-abiding Indian citizen and a victim of a frame-up. He alleges irregularities in his arrest, including the denial of consular access and forced consumption of beef and pork, which violated his religious beliefs.

Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, condemned the US's "neo-colonial mentality" and suggested it reflected a misunderstanding of India's national character.
