It is known that the name of the 19-year-old Indian-origin is Sai Varishtha Kandula. He is a resident of Missouri. As soon as the news of this Indian-origin celebrity came to light, there was an uproar in the US.
US President’s press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said the incident happened around 9:30 p.m. local time on Monday. US President Biden was in the White House at the time of the incident. He was meeting with Speaker of the US Parliament Kevin McCarthy on a government matter.
At that time, the Indian-origin man hit the White House security barricade by pushing a truck. He breathed a sigh of relief as no one was injured in the incident. After the barricade was hit, White House security guards rushed in. The elder was immediately arrested.
It has been claimed that the resident of the state of Missouri came there to kill the US president. A Nazi flag was also recovered from the truck, the administration said.
Meanwhile, the US police has brought multiple charges against the Indian origin. These include attempts to harm US President Joe Biden and his family as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and her family. Along with this, Vashishtha has been charged with assault and trespassing with a dangerous weapon.
However, no explosives were recovered from the seized truck, police said. After initial investigation, it was revealed that Dalen was flown in from Missouri. From there he hired a truck and came to Washington. At the time of his arrest, he claimed to have told the police that his main intention was to kill the US president.
Meanwhile, security at the White House has been beefed up following the incident. However, this is not the first time such incidents have caught the eyes of security guards. A few days ago a child broke into the White House. At that time, questions arose about Biden’s security.
