Indian Truck Driver Harjinder Singh Jailed in Florida After Tragic Crash, 2.8M Petition for Clemency
28-year-old Indian American truck driver Harjinder Singh is at the center of a controversy shaking the U.S. and India. Singh was arrested after his truck jack-knifed on the Florida Turnpike, killing three people. Prosecutors charged him with vehicular manslaughter, while supporters insist it was a tragic accident. A petition calling for Governor Ron DeSantis to grant clemency has already gathered more than 2.8 million signatures. For the 30,000 Indian truckers in the U.S., Singh's case is deeply personal. Beyond one man's fate, the Florida crash has sparked visa freezes, policy battles, and a debate over compassion vs punishment. NDTV's Riddhima Kedia explains the details.
