US Federal Investigation Targets Neville Roy Singham Over Funding Allegations

The probe, led by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, examines potential violations of money laundering, wire fraud, and bank fraud laws. Singham has previously faced scrutiny in India over similar allegations related to promoting pro-China narratives but denies acting on behalf of the Chinese government.
