In the United States, an Indian citizen has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for conspiring to support terrorist attacks in India, including assassination of an Indian government official, as part of the Khalistan movement. Forty-two-year-old Balwinder Singh was sentenced yesterday by US District Judge Larry Hicks in Reno to 15 years in prison for conspiracy to provide material support and resources to terrorists for the movement to create the independent Sikh state. <br/><br/>US Attorney Daniel Bogden for the District of Nevada informed this. Bogden said, Singh, a Reno resident, was a member of two terrorist groups and provided material support to "intimidate" the Indian government and to harm persons who were not supporting the terrorism groups' cause.<br/><br/>Singh, who also went by the alias Jhaji and Baljit Singh is a citizen of India and a permanent US resident. He had pleaded guilty in November last year. According to court documents, between September and December 2013, Singh conspired with others to support terrorist attacks in India as part of the Khalistan movement to create an independent state in the Punjab.
