Indian Murder Suspect Arrested in US After Canada Denies Entry
A man from India, wanted for murder in his home country, was caught trying to enter the US after being turned away by Canada.
He used a fake name and was found out by US border officers who used special technology to check his identity.
Now, he's in jail in the US waiting to be sent back to India.
Vishat Kumar, a 22-year-old Indian citizen, was arrested by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the Port of Buffalo, Peace Bridge border crossing on November 16.
Kumar was denied entry into Canada and had an Interpol Red Notice against him for murder in India.
He illegally entered the US in 2024 and used a false name and date of birth, which was discovered during a secondary inspection.
Kumar is currently detained in the Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York, awaiting removal proceedings.
CBP confirmed Kumar's true identity using biometric technology.
