The US government has filed a civil denaturalisation case against Indian-born Harinder Singh, also known as Harinder Singh Sanghera and Rushpal Singh, alleging he obtained American citizenship using a false identity. Authorities said he was stopped at JFK Airport in 1991 as Rushpal Singh and ordered deported in 1995, but there is no record he left the US. In 1996, he allegedly applied for immigration benefits as Harinder Singh, changing his date of birth, entry date and basis for his claim. The INS approved his permanent residency application in 2000, and he became a US citizen in 2008. The Justice Department seeks to revoke his citizenship and cancel his naturalisation certificate.
