Justice Served: Citizenship Revoked After Taxi Driver's Heinous Crimes Unveiled

Gurmeet Singh, an Indian-origin man, faces denaturalisation in the US after concealing his criminal past during the naturalisation process. Singh, convicted of rape and kidnapping, misled authorities to secure citizenship. The US Justice Department is revoking his citizenship to rectify this injustice.

Gurmeet Singh, a naturalised American citizen of Indian origin, is set to lose his citizenship following revelations of grave misconduct hidden during his naturalisation process.

The United States Justice Department launched a denaturalisation action against Singh in New York after it emerged he had committed rape and kidnapping, heinous crimes concealed on his naturalisation application. Singh, who moved to the US via family-based immigration, allegedly attacked a female passenger in his taxicab, binding and violating her at knifepoint.

Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate emphasized the gravity of Singh's deceit, noting the US's commitment to rectify such injustices. US Attorney Joseph Nocella highlighted the importance of defending the sanctity of US citizenship from individuals who obtain it through deceit and concealment.
