About 2 months are left in the tenure of US President Joe Biden. But before his departure, the Biden administration is taking such action against India which may spoil the relations between the two countries. After registering a case in the Adani case, America has now arrested an Indian on another major charge.

The outgoing US President seems intent on spoiling relations with India. First, a US court initiated proceedings in the Adani case, alleging bribery. Now after just 2 days, the US Justice Department has taken another major action against India. Due to this, the possibility of sourness in India-US relations has increased. The US administration’s back-to-back steps against India have also exposed Biden’s thinking, which he had suppressed till now. After prosecuting Gautam Adani, the US has now accused an Indian citizen of buying American aviation equipment for Russian companies.

Apart from this, the American police has also arrested him on charges of violating export control laws. Sanjay Kaushik, managing partner of New Delhi-based air charter service provider Arezzo Aviation, was arrested in Miami on October 17 while returning from India on an official visit, the US Justice Department said on Friday. According to the company website, ‘Arezzo Aviation’ is based in Mehram Nagar, Delhi Cantt and is an aviation services company that deals in charter aircraft, air ambulance, as well as commercial, general and corporate aircraft spare parts and pilots.

America has currently kept Kaushik in Oregon jail. He has not yet appealed for his release. US Magistrate Judge Stacey F. On Friday, Beckerman 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 obtained aviation goods and technology from the United States for Russian companies,” federal prosecutors said in court.
