The United States government has initiated legal actions to revoke the citizenship of two Indian-born individuals based on allegations of fraud during their naturalization processes.

In Kansas, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a civil lawsuit against Harinder Singh, alleging he used multiple identities to conceal his immigration history and bypass a 1995 deportation order. Authorities claim Singh submitted a new application in 1996 using different biographical details, which led to his lawful permanent residency in 2000 and naturalization in 2008.

In New York, the Department of Justice successfully revoked the citizenship of Gurmeet Singh, a former cab driver. Prosecutors stated that Singh concealed a 2011 conviction for kidnapping and rape during his naturalization proceedings. Singh had become a U.S. citizen in October 2011 after originally entering the country on a temporary visitor visa in 1992.
