Khalistani Paramjit Singh Ajrawat Was Previously Blacklisted By The Indian Government!

Paramjit Singh Ajrawat was blacklisted by the Indian Government at the peak of the Khalistan movement. In May 2011, he along with 138 others was removed from the blacklist, which prevents their entry into India.

HOUSTON – A 60-year-old Indo-American physician and a prominent supporter Khalistan movement has been sentenced to nine years in prison for a $3 million healthcare fraud scheme in the US in which he filed claims for procedures that were never performed.

Paramjit Singh Ajrawat, based in Potomac who owned and operated a pain management clinic, has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for the crime. He also was ordered to forfeit and pay restitution of $3 million in federal court in Greenbelt.

The US Attorney’s Office said in a news release that Paramjit and his wife Sukhveen Kaur Ajrawat owned and operated Washington Pain Management Center in Greenbelt.

In September 2015, a federal jury convicted Paramjit and his 57-year-old wife Sukhveen of numerous offenses, including health care and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and aggravated identity theft. His wife died on February 1, and the charges against her were dismissed.

During trial, evidence was presented that showed how the couple defrauded federal health benefit programmes, including Medicare and Medicaid.

The defrauding efforts happened from January 2011 to May 2014. They were convicted in September of numerous offences, including healthcare and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and aggravated identity theft.

Prosecutors say the Ajrawats filed claims for procedures that were not performed to Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE and other federal health benefit programs.
