America
Indian charged with visa fraud in US
New York, June 2
An Indian national claiming
to work with a Bollywood company was charged with visa fraud on arrival
at a US airport, media reported.
Sukhpal Veer Singh arrived at
the John F. Kennedy Airport from Kuwait with a visa issued by the US
embassy in New Delhi that was revoked last month "due to irregularities
in the application", reported the New York Daily News.
An official complaint for visa fraud was filed on Monday at the Brooklyn Federal Court.
Stating
that he was a production manager for Bollywood studio "Seven Star Film
Productions", Singh admitted to Customs and Border Protection officers
that it wasn't true that he was now unemployed.
In February
2013, an Indian national, Nitinkumar Chandubhai Patel, claiming to be
scouting for filming locations for a Bollywood company, was charged with
visa fraud at the same airport after discrepancies in his story. He was
later found to be a farmer.
