Indian-Origin Man Stripped of US Citizenship Over Rape

Gurmeet Singh's US Citizenship Revoked Over Hidden Rape Crimes

The US Department of Justice has taken action to strip the citizenship of Gurmeet Singh, an Indian-origin man who became a naturalized citizen after concealing a history of violent crime. Singh was convicted in 2014 for first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. Now, federal authorities are seeking to denaturalize him due to his deceit during the naturalization process.

The case underscores the severe consequences of dishonesty when applying for US citizenship, as well as the importance of maintaining the integrity of naturalized citizenship. Singh's legal battle will now move to a federal court, where a judge will decide whether the government has met the necessary criteria to revoke his citizenship.
