US Revokes Citizenship of Indian-Origin Man Convicted of Rape and Kidnapping
The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York revoked the citizenship of Gurmeet Singh, an Indian-born man convicted of rape and kidnapping in 2011. Singh, who entered the US in 1992 and later became a permanent resident, concealed his criminal acts during the naturalisation process. The Justice Department emphasized that citizenship obtained through fraud will not protect criminals, and Singh must surrender his citizenship. He is currently detained in a New York correctional facility.
