It is already known that the United States has very strict roles and regulations against crimes on children. Now an Indian man has been arrested by the United States authorities for committing crimes against kids.

U.S. immigration authorities have detained an Indian national named Vodela Yashaswi Kottapalli in New Jersey on serious criminal allegations. According to officials from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), he is accused of the sexual assault of a child under 13, along with charges of larceny linked to shoplifting and public disorder.

ICE has described him as an undocumented immigrant, and because of the nature of the accusations, he has been taken into custody and is set to remain detained while legal proceedings continue. These charges are still allegations, and the case will be decided by the U.S. judicial system through normal court processes.

Because he is not a U.S. citizen and is accused of serious offenses particularly those involving a minor ICE has also initiated deportation (removal) proceedings against him under U.S. immigration law.

This means that as his criminal case moves forward, immigration courts will also determine whether he should be removed from the United States and sent back to India once legal requirements are met.

This incident comes amid a broader trend of increased deportations of Indian nationals from the United States, especially those facing criminal or immigration violations.
