Washington, Mar 1: Two Indian brothers -- Avanish Kumar Jha, 38, and Rajnish Kumar Jha, 35 -- have been extradited from Singapore for selling counterfeit cancer drugs and adulterated medications, as a US attorney said as they appeared in US court on Friday.
The two brothers were arrested in Singapore on April 20, 2023, based on a request from the United States. They were extradited to the US this week to face 28 felony charges. Making an initial appearance before a court in Seattle, the brothers entered pleas of not guilty. A trial has been scheduled for May 5.
