British-Indian Couple Fights US Extradition Over Cancer Drug Fraud Charges
A British-Indian businessman, Sukhi Ghuman, and his ex-wife Kiranjit Ghuman are contesting extradition to the US on charges of defrauding American health programs by supplying unapproved, cheap, and sometimes expired cancer drugs at clinics they operated in California and Arizona. The US alleges they obtained millions from Medicare and other insurers between 2019 and 2023 and also face separate drug smuggling charges carrying up to 20 years in prison. Their defense argues on human rights grounds, with a court ruling pending.
