Joe Biden, President of America.
Washington: The outgoing President of America seems to be hell-bent on spoiling relations with India. First, the American court started action by alleging alleged bribery in the Adani case. Now just 2 days later, the US Justice Department has taken another major action against India. Due to this, the possibility of sourness in India-America relations has increased. The successive actions taken by the US administration against India have also brought to the fore Biden’s thinking, which he had kept suppressed till now. After taking action against Gautam Adani, America has now accused an Indian citizen of procuring American aviation material for Russian companies.
Besides, the American police has also arrested him on this charge of violating the export control law. Sanjay Kaushik, managing partner of New Delhi-based air charter service provider Arezzo Aviation, was arrested in Miami on October 17 when he returned from India on an official visit, the US Justice Department said on Friday. According to the company’s website, ‘Arezzo Aviation’ is based in Mehram Nagar, Delhi Cantt and is an aviation services company that operates in the field of charter aircraft, air ambulance, as well as spare parts and pilots for commercial, general and corporate aircraft.

Indian citizen lodged in Oregon jail
America has currently lodged Kaushik in Oregon jail. He has not yet appealed for his release. US Magistrate Judge Stacey F. Beckerman on Friday ordered Kaushik’s detention in view of the possibility of him absconding. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to US$1 million per case. “Kaushik is a member of a procurement ring that illegally obtains aviation goods and technology from the United States for Russian companies,” federal prosecutors said in court.
