67-year-old Kamlesh Navnitlal Shah, a retired dentist from California, said he had no idea that he was not supposed to vote in the 2024 election, as he was a permanent resident but not a citizen. He has now been charged with fraudulently registering to vote in US elections.

Dr Shah said he met an accident five to six years ago and was in a coma for six months, and can hardly talk or walk.
