On Wednesday he was reportedly sentenced to 10 years in prison in the Minnesota “leader” of the international land of people.
The sentence came for more than three years after the four -member family of India stiffened to death while trying to enter the US along the distant section of the Canadian border in blizzard.
The judge issued punishments in the Federal Court of Court in the northwestern city of Fergus Falls, where both accused men were judged and convicted of four numbers per piece last November.
About two accused
Both accused men were identified as Harshumar Ramanla Patel and Steve Anthony Shand.
In a court in the US state of Minnesota, Patel was sentenced to just over 10 years in prison. Shand was sentenced to six and a half years in prison. The custody conditions were about half of what the prosecutors were looking for.
Last November, they were convicted of trading in people, criminal conspiracy and murdered murders that did not apply to murder, the BBC reported.
According to Associated Press, prosecutors said that Patel was an Indian national who went under the alias “Dirty Harry”, and Shand is an American citizen of Florida. Shand should also be convicted on Wednesday.
Reportedly, they were part of sophisticated illegal operations that brought dozens of people from India to Canada to student visas and then smuggled them across the American border.
According to a report by Federal prosecutors, Steve Anthony Shand has recommended a patella for Harshumara Ramanlaal for almost 20 years and almost 11 years for a driver to pick them up.
Patel has been imprisoned since his arrest at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago in February 2024 and asked to have no income and no assets.
“Mr. Patel has never shown an ounce of remorse. Even today, it is still Deny that he is a dirty Harry, who worked with Mr. Shad at this smuggling company-navzdrane with essential evidence and the Council for his fellow defendant who identified him in court.”
Meanwhile, Shand was waiting for a free conviction. His lawyer described the government’s sentence as “unreasonably repressive” and demanded only 27 months. The lawyer claimed that the role of Shanda was limited – that he was just a taxi driver who needed money to support his wife and six children.
Four India family freezes to death
The prosecutors said that the victim -Jagdish patel, 39; his wife, Vaisaliben, who was in the mid -30s; their eleven -year -old daughter Vihangi; And a three-year-old son, Dharmik-Ztahl to death.
The family came from the village of Dingucha in Gujarat, as well as Harshumar Patel. Patel is a common Indian surname and victims were not related to the defendant.
His father died as he tried to protect Dharmik’s face from a “blister” with a frozen glove, written by prosecutor Michael McBride.
Vihangi was wearing “poorly fitting shoes and gloves”. Their mother “died of the fence of the chain, which she had to think that salvation was lying,” McBride wrote, according to a report.
