United States: An Indian-origin boy has been charged with an attempt to murder US President Joe Biden.

Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri, who was driving the U-Haul carrying a Nazi flag, tried to ram twice into the White House security barrier on Lafayette Square on Monday night.

The security personnel immediately arrested Kandula who was identified as a Telugu boy.

Police registered a case against Sai Varshith on charges of use of deadly weapons, negligent driving, trying to endanger the life of the President and destruction of government property.

According to the United States Park Police (USPP), and the Metropolitan Police Department, on May 22, 2023, at approximately 9:35 pm, an officer patrolling in a stationary police vehicle near H Street, Northwest between 16th Street and Jackson Place, Northwest, observed an orange and white in color U-Haul box truck (U-Haul) traveling eastbound on H Street.

The operator of the U-Haul later identified to be Sai Varshith turned onto the H Street walking entrance to Lafayette Square, close to 16th Street.

He drove onto the sidewalk, sending multiple pedestrians running from the scene. The USPP officer observed the U-Haul strike the metal bollard barriers that prevent vehicles from entering Layfette Square, north of the White House grounds. After striking the barriers, the U-haul backed up in reverse, and lurched forward, again striking the metal barriers.

The USPP officer engaged emergency lights, drove up behind the U-haul, and exited the vehicle to investigate. The officer noticed the vehicle was smoking from the front hood and liquids were leaking from the vehicle's undercarriage. The USPP officer watched Sai Varshith exit the driver's side of the vehicle and go to the back of the U-haul.

The officer watched as the teenager removed a red and white flag with a Nazi Swastika in the center from a black backpack he was carrying.

He was immediately down to the ground and detained and searched him. On his person, a Missouri driver's license identification card was found, bearing the name Sai Varshith Kandula.

"No explosives were found in the U-haul and no weapons of ammunition were found on him. He was taken into custody by the USPP officer. Kandula was transported to a USPP station where he consented to an interview by agents of the USSS", said the report.

When questioned, he told the agents that his goal is to get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation.

When agents asked how he would seize power, he stated he would "Kill the President if that's what I have to do and would hurt anyone that would stand in my way"

Kandula flew into Washington, D.C. from St. Louis at approximately at 8 p.m. that evening on a one-way ticket. Upon arriving at Dulles International Airport, he rented a U-Haul from a nearby location and drove directly to the White House

He made clear in the interview that by "the President" he meant the President of the United States. He had been planning for six months, and his actions at the White House had been successful because his intention was to send a message to us.

When asked what he meant by "us", Kandula stated the message was meant to be sent to all organizations like the Secret Service. "Either way, whether I got into the White House or not, my message was received", the Teenader stated. The Telugu boy also knew he would be arrested but his "green book" would get to those who needed to see it.

Green book which is an outlet for his plans to enter the White House, and his thoughts. He stated that he was in eventually started writing what he would accomplish if he was in charge.

Admires Nazi's

When asked about the flag he showed at the scene, Kandula stated it was a swastika which he bought online, because "Nazis have a great history".

When the officers asked about Nazis, Kandula said, "He admires their authoritarian nature, Eugenics, and their one world order and is inspired by Hitler who was a strong leader".

The damage caused by the U-Haul to the metal barriers, which are located at the intersection of H St. Northwest and 16/h St. Northwest and constitute property of the United States government is more than $1,000.00. Based on the foregoing, there is probable cause to believe that Kandula violated 18 U.S.C. $ 1361, depredation of property of the United States in excess of $1,000.
