An Indian citizen, Gurdev Singh, has been apprehended by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Port of Champlain in New York. Singh is wanted on child predator charges in Indiana.

Steve Bronson, Champlain Port Director, praised the officers for their diligence, emphasizing that the arrest underscores CBP's commitment to apprehending fugitives, particularly those involved in crimes against children.
