US attorney confirms Indian-origin woman falsely accused of visa fraud

A woman named Sadhana Gollapudi lives in Houston, Texas, in the United States.

She is a dancer who performs a traditional Indian dance called Kuchipudi, and she is also a biomedical engineer.

Someone on a social media website called X posted a video of her dancing and falsely said she was in the country illegally on a student visa.

Millions of people saw the post, more than three million in total.

A senior government lawyer called the US Attorney looked into the claim.

He said the story was not true and that Sadhana became an American citizen legally, which is called being 'naturalized.'

The people who shared the false story are being asked to take the post down and say sorry.

A group called the Indian American Advocacy Council says she was publicly hurt by lies shown to millions of people.

The group also said the lawyer should have focused on fixing the false story instead of talking about immigration.

The group wants to help her take legal action if she chooses.
