Jagsheer Singh from Queens county faces first-degree assault and child endangerment charges for allegedly inflicting the life-threatening injuries on little Nevin Janduher.
WASHINGTON – An Indian American has been charged with causing brain damage and other life-threatening injuries to his four-month-old son, leaving him struggling for life in hospital.
Jagsheer Singh, 28, from Queens county faces first-degree assault and child endangerment charges for allegedly inflicting the life-threatening injuries on little Nevin Janduher, the New York Daily News reported.
According to authorities, the baby was left in the care of Singh while his wife, Reena Malhotra, a radiologist, went to work at Long Island Jewish Medical Centre. Singh told his wife after she returned from work that he found the child having difficulty breathing.
Later, he admitted to the police that the boy had fallen off the changing table, but doctors found “multiple severe skull fractures” that were not consistent with an accident.
“The baby is in grave condition and if he does not survive, the charges will be upgraded,” Queens district attorney Richard Brown was quoted as saying.
t �� a �_� �M� o wait and deal with the new leadership. The outgoing government headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was reluctant in taking any decision on even important issues related to bilateral ties.
The first five months of the year could be characterised as stalemate in bilateral ties but collaboration moved at a fast pace ever since Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister on May 26. Even before the swearing-in took place, Obama telephoned Modi to congratulate him on unprecedented electoral victory.
While the White House statement of this maiden tele-conversation did not say much, the subsequent events reflected that it set the tone and pace for the India-U.S. relationship.
In the first 100 days of the new Indian government, Obama sent three of his top Cabinet Ministers John Kerry (Secretary of State), Chuck Hagel (Defense Secretary) and Penny Pritzker (Commerce Secretary) to India.
The annual India-U.S. Strategic Dialogue was held in New Delhi instead of Washington as a goodwill gesture for the new government.
The mood about India in Washington suddenly changed with the new government. Meetings with Modi by top officials of the Obama Administration reflected that the Prime Minister was focused on India’s development and taking Indo-U.S. ties to a new level as he considers it as a win-win for both the countries.
Gauging that the Prime Minister was personally leading efforts to normalise Indo-U.S. ties, Obama invited Modi to the White House immediately after the UN General Assembly session in New York.
The maiden meeting between the two leaders at the White House on September 30 helped establish a personal relationship between Obama and Modi the two most popular political leaders on the social media.
