Desk : A very important and strict legal decision has come out from America, where the American administration has officially canceled the American citizenship of Indian-origin Gurmeet Singh, convicted of rape and kidnapping. It is being told that when Gurmeet Singh had applied for and obtained US citizenship, he had completely hidden the serious criminal cases registered against him i.e. incidents of rape and kidnapping. After this fraud came to light, his citizenship has now been taken away.
According to the information received, Gurmeet Singh is currently serving a long prison sentence of 20 years for his heinous crimes. US investigative agencies and the court found that he misled the authorities during the process of acquiring US citizenship and concealed his criminal record. This drastic action has been taken after finding strong evidence of violating immigration rules and laws and defrauding the justice system.
This case has once again proved how costly it can be to hide facts while obtaining citizenship or legal benefits of the country. US officials have made it clear that strict action will continue under the rules against those involved in serious crimes and fraud in immigration documents. After completion of the sentence, the process of deportation of Gurmeet Singh is also likely to be considered.
