Indian origin man among 25 persons facing revocation of U.S. citizenship
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a case against 65-year-old Narinder Singh in the District of Delaware for allegedly using a fraudulent identity to seek admission to the U.S.
An Indian man among 25 individuals faces U.S. citizenship revocation for alleged crimes, U.S. authorities announced. The Department of Justice has initiated proceedings against 65-year-old Narinder Singh in Delaware for using a fraudulent identity to gain U.S. citizenship. The charges include seven counts of misrepresentation and unlawful acts, reflecting negatively on his moral character.
Singh gained citizenship in 2008 after using two identities since 1996 to enter the U.S. At least two of the 25 individuals involved are of Pakistani descent - Zia Murad Bhatti and Mohd Wasif, who also allegedly falsified their identities. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized that U.S. citizenship is a privilege that must be obtained lawfully and honestly.
The complaints filed by the DOJ against the 25 individuals, spanning 17 countries, allege various unlawful conduct, including concealment of violent crimes, sexual offenses against children, and falsified identities. This marks the largest coordinated denaturalization effort in the department's history, with the total denaturalization filings reaching 123 since January 2025.
