Indian National Wanted for Murder Arrested at Peace Bridge After Canada Entry Denial

CBP says biometric checks uncovered a false identity, linking the 22-year-old to a murder notice from India.

Vishat’s identity was later confirmed, revealing that he had been using a fake name and date of birth.

Overview

  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested Vishat Kumar, 22, at the Port of Buffalo on November 16 after Canadian authorities refused him entry at the Peace Bridge crossing.
  • CBP reported an Interpol Red Notice indicating Kumar is sought by Indian law enforcement for murder, with no case details released by U.S. authorities.
  • Authorities say Kumar illegally entered the United States in 2024 and did not appear for a scheduled asylum interview.
  • During secondary inspection, officers found he was using a false name and date of birth, and biometric technology confirmed his true identity.
  • CBP processed the arrest and transferred Kumar to ICE/Enforcement Removal Operations; he is held at the Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York pending removal proceedings.
