Global pop music group Katseye member Lara Rajagopalan has recently faced legal trouble after a false tip was submitted to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She is an Indian-American musician.

However, a fan reportedly filed a complaint against the musician, alleging that Rajagopalan didn’t have the proper authorisation to stay and work in the US.

A screenshot of the form is going viral on social media amid the increase in immigration enforcement actions, with US authorities intensifying raids and deportation efforts across the country.

The complainant filled a form, and the reported summary on the "criminal activity" form reads, “There is an illegal alien in LA known by the name Lara Rajagopalan; she has not obtained the necessary visa or legal status required to remain in the US and appears to be working and residing in the United States without legal authorisation.”

The musician also received online hate, with a social media user posting a screenshot of the alleged complaint involving the Katseye member. The post included a threatening message, "See you in the city jail," and tagged Rajagopalan.

However, Lara Rajagopalan is a US citizen. Meanwhile, the singer’s fans backed her and slammed the social media users for increasing hate due to her Indian heritage. He fans seem to have reported the X account of the complainant as it is now unavailable.
