A 50-year-old Indian man, Kawal Preet Singh, is charged in the United States with drug trafficking after authorities allege he sold methamphetamine from a pizza outlet in Dinuba, California. The US Department of Justice says the case also involves illegal firearms, with the defendant allegedly possessing weapons in furtherance of drug trafficking.
According to court documents, federal agents searched Singh’s home and business on August 18 and seized more than 40 pounds of methamphetamine, three firearms, and over $10,000 in cash. The charges include distribution and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, along with firearm possession connected to drug trafficking, prosecutors say.
The outlets largely align on the core allegations, the defendant’s age and identity, and the reported seizures. Differences are mainly in emphasis: NDTV and India Today focus on the charge and the pizza-outlet setting, while Free Press Journal adds more detail about the investigation and the nature of the federal actions and evidence referenced by the DOJ.
