A man accused of plotting and being paid to smuggle Indian nationals from Canada into the United States pleaded not guilty in a U.S. federal court on Wednesday. Prosecutors allege Simranjit "Shally" Singh, a 40-year-old Indian who is resident in Ontario, was involved in a conspiracy to smuggle Indian nationals over the border from Cornwall Island and the Akwesasne Mohawk reservation in 2020 and 2021, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York said. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.
