Pragnesh Desai, owner of Bukhara Grill I and Bukhara Grill II has been accused of hiring a friend to arrange the murder of his fiance. He is indicted for conspiracy to commit murder for hire, and murder for hire. He was recently acquitted of murder charges in India for insufficient evidence, but the Indian gov't is appealing, and should the appeals stand, Desai will be extradited to the US to face justice.

The US prosecutor noted Desai had purchased two $500,000 insurance policies a few days before his fiance's death.
