US Revokes Citizenship of Indian-Origin Man Convicted of Rape

US Revokes Citizenship of Indian-Origin Man Convicted of RapePreviousNext

The US government revoked the citizenship of Gurmeet Singh, an Indian-born man convicted of kidnapping and raping a woman in 2011. Singh, who became a naturalized US citizen after entering the country in 1992 and obtaining permanent residency in 2000, concealed his criminal acts during the naturalization process. A federal court ruled that his citizenship was fraudulently obtained, leading to its revocation. Officials emphasized that citizenship obtained through deceit will not protect individuals from justice.
