The US has revoked the citizenship of Indian-origin man Gurmeet Singh after a New York court found he concealed a rape and kidnapping during his naturalisation process. Singh, convicted of rape and kidnapping and sentenced to 20 years, became a US citizen in 2011.
New York: The US has revoked the citizenship of an Indian-origin man, who was convicted of rape.
The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered judgment revoking the naturalisation of convicted rapist Gurmeet Singh.
A native of India, Singh entered the United States in February 1992 as a visitor for a temporary period not to exceed six months.
He then remained in the US without authorisation for years until a family-based immigrant visa petition allowed him to become a permanent resident in June 2000.
