Indian-American man faces US citizenship revocation over alleged US $2.5 million fraud

Federal prosecutors have moved to revoke the U.S. citizenship of an Indian-American man accused of orchestrating a $2.5 million fraud. The man, whose name has not been disclosed, allegedly obtained his citizenship through fraudulent means, according to court documents.

The charges stem from an investigation into a scheme that defrauded victims of approximately $2.5 million. Prosecutors allege that the man used false information to secure his naturalization as a U.S. citizen.

If the court grants the revocation, the man would lose his citizenship and face potential deportation. The case highlights the government's efforts to strip citizenship from individuals who obtained it through deception.

The man has not yet entered a plea, and his attorney has declined to comment. A hearing is scheduled for later this month.
