Washington: Another Punjabi driver, Partap Singh, has been arrested in the United States in connection with a road accident that occurred nearly a year ago.
The arrest comes weeks after another driver, Harjinder Singh, was held for allegedly driving a truck in a negligent manner.
In a statement, the US Department of Homeland Security said that a five-year-old girl was seriously injured in the accident linked to Partap Singh. Officials confirmed that Singh has now been taken into custody.
According to the department, Singh had crossed the border to enter the US illegally in October 2022 and was released by the Biden administration at that time.
Sources said that officials have initiated the process to deport Singh.
