Hardev Singh Mohan Singh Panesar, Indian American Man Accused of Immigration Fraud Allegedly Cuts Off GPS Bracelet, Flees to Mexico
A Southern California Indian American man accused of posing as a federal agent and bilking immigrants out of $1.5 million is being sought after authorities say he cut off his GPS ankle bracelet and fled to Mexico, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
The Times, in a June 28 report, said that a warrant has been issued for the re-arrest of Hardev Singh Mohan Singh Panesar.
The 70-year-old is accused of posing as a Homeland Security agent and promising more than 100 victims that he could obtain legal immigration status for them or stop their deportation proceedings. Authorities say he charged up to $40,000 each.
The Times says the San Diego County man was awaiting trial when authorities were alerted on June 21 that his ankle monitor had been tampered with.
Panesar was born in Kenya and speaks five languages, has frequently used aliases and is accused of being a chronic liar, authorities said, the Times reported.
