The United States has initiated proceedings to revoke the citizenship of Debashis Ghosh, a 62-year-old Indian man, along with 11 others, due to allegations of fraud. Ghosh is accused of conspiring to defraud investors of $2.5 million that was intended for the construction of an aircraft maintenance facility. The US Department of Justice stated that Ghosh misrepresented the location and safekeeping of the funds and falsely claimed he had never committed a crime during his naturalisation application in 2012. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, citizenship may be revoked if naturalisation was obtained through fraudulent means. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized that individuals who conceal criminal histories during the naturalisation process will face severe legal consequences. This action reflects a commitment to uphold the integrity of the US immigration system.
