A US court has sentenced 20-year-old Indian American Sai Varshith Kandula to eight years in prison for crashing a rented truck into barriers near the White House. This happened on May 22, 2023. Kandula had a strange plan inspired by Nazi ideas, wanting to take over the US government and become its leader.
He pleaded guilty to causing damage and was also given three years of supervised release after his prison time. Kandula, who graduated from high school and is from Chandanagar near Hyderabad, lives in St. Louis, Missouri. He had been planning this attack for weeks.
Kandula even told police that he wanted to hurt the US President and other officials to gain power. On the day of the incident, he flew from St. Louis to Washington, DC, rented a truck, and drove straight to the White House. After hitting the barriers, he got out of the truck waving a Nazi flag and was quickly caught by police.
His actions caused about $4,322 in damage. Court documents showed Kandula had tried to hire security guards and get a bigger truck for his attack, hoping to intimidate the US government.
