For example I am citizen of India and I am working in USA. Consider I earn 100k dollars per year and invested 10k dollars in US stocks which appreciated by 50% that year. Now whom should I report this 5k profit to and pay the capital gains?

Did you sell the stock? You don’t pay taxes on unrealized gains.

Are you living in India working remotely for a US company? Or are you physically residing in the USA?

Your citizenship does not matter. You are an NRI and a resident of the USA. You invested in the USA and made gains in the USA. Thus, you pay tax in the USA.

However, any income generated in India is taxable in India.
