Subject: Fwd: Seeking your kind attention and assistance with the situation
Good Afternoon, Board of Supervisors,
KINDLY DO NOT IGNORE THIS EMAIL. I AM SEEKING YOUR ATTENTION
AND ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. I AM LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES. I
HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY FEW INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH A
GOVERNMENT AGENCY(LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY) AT THE BEHEST OF
MY FORMER EMPLOYER(A PRIVATE BUSINESS OWNER) WHO ENLISTED
THEIR ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION THAT HE WAS
AFFILIATED WITH. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE RELENTLESSLY TARGETING
ME FOR PAST 4.5 YEARS BY MISUSING THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITY AND BY
MANIPULATING THE AGENCY RESOURCES. THEY COMPLETELY RUINED
MY LIFE. I LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF ACTIONS OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS AGAINST ME. I AM FORCED INTO VERY DESPERATE
CIRCUMSTANCES BY THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THESE INDIVIDUALS AFFILIATED WITH A GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAVE
FORCED ME TO LIVE INTO DESPERATE AND UNLIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO MANIPULATE MY CIRCUMSTANCES TO
FABRICATE NEGATIVE CHARGES AGAINST ME TO SHUT THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS I FREQUENTED
OVER THE PAST 4.5 YEARS , INSTITUTIONS I WAS AFFILIATED WITH, MY
WORKPLACES, AND EVERY WHERE ELSE THEY UNLAWFULLY
INTERFERED, MISLED THEM & COERCED THEM TO UNJUSTLY TARGET ME.
I AM UNDER THE STRONG IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE REACHING OUT
TO AGENCIES WHOM I CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED THEM OF MY
SITUATION AND TRYING TO DOWNPLAY THE WHOLE THING. THESE
INDIVIDUALS HAVE MANIPULATED MY VULNERABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
AS AN IMMIGRANT WITH LIMITED RESOURCES AND NO ASSISTANCE OF
ANY KIND TO TARGET ME IN THIS MANNER AT THE BEHEST OF A PRIVATE
BUSINESS OWNER.
I WANT TO MAKE THIS SITUATION KNOWN BECAUSE THESE INDIVIDUALS,
MY FORMER EMPLOYER AND HIS ASSOCIATES, AND AN IRANIAN
INDIVIDUAL WHO LEAD SOME SORT OF ORGANIZED GROUP AND
INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER FROM VERY BEGINNING; ARE THREAT TO MY
LIFE AND SAFETY
I am sharing these emails with you to request that you write to the United States
Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the FBI Los Angeles Field
Office, urging them to take immediate action on the matters that I have reported to them.
I Notified these agencies, submitted detailed complaint draft and consistently writing
them to request them to take relevant action against these individuals.
I am intended to share my situation as I am tired of reaching out to agencies and
notifying them of my situation. There are “few individuals” associated with government
agency(likely a law enforcement agency)
who targeted me at behest of my former employer(a private business owner) and
completely ruined my life. They are targeting me for past 4.5 years and dragged me
through very desperate situation to make sure they themselves and their client(my former
employer and his associates) evade complete accountability for their thoroughly
unlawful conduct against me without facing any legal repercussions. I am living through
very difficult time. I don’t have any resources, any financial or family support and they
manipulate my vulnerable situation to target me openly in this manner. From past 4.5
years, I have been continuously harassed, abused, threatened, profiled, forced to leave
jobs and they doing so by misusing their official position and by manipulating the
government agency resources. I have been overpowered and thrashed by these
individuals by misusing the agency resources.
I ran into a situation where my former employer—DSM Hospitality LLC, Castaic,
California, and SPK Hospitality LLC, Santa Clarita, California, owned by Pankaj
Patel—who happened to be an extremely hate-filled individual, enlisted the assistance of
a few individuals associated with a government agency (a law enforcement agency) to
target me. As I understand, He enlisted the assistance of these individuals through the
business association with which he was affiliated. These individuals associated with a
government agency misused their official positions and authority to target me both at my
workplace and outside the workplace. Since then, they have been trying to fabricate
negative allegations against me in order to gain leverage over me and prevent me from
taking legal action against my former employer and his associates who worked for him
and, unlike me, shared the same religion, culture, native state, and native language as my
former employer.
This situation began in 2022. By that time, I had been working for my former employer
for almost two years. He was not treating me properly and was under the impression that
I might eventually file legal action against him. Acting preemptively, he enlisted the
assistance of these individuals affiliated with a government agency by using his business
contacts within that business association. Since the commencement of this targeted
campaign against me, these individuals affiliated with a government agency have also
engaged an Iranian organized group to target me.
These individuals assessed my circumstances beforehand and determined that I was a
vulnerable individual—working an ordinary job, with no family support and limited
financial resources. They manipulated my vulnerable circumstances as an immigrant to
target me openly in an abusive and threatening manner to dissuade me from filing legal
complaint against my former employer with relevant agencies. They have made
numerous attempts since then to fabricate negative allegations against me to get leverage
over me to prevent me from taking legal action against my former employer and his
associates. They have been targeting me since October 2022 with complete impunity and
without any fear of facing consequences for their unlawful conduct.
After a series of events that took place at my former workplace, I realized that I was
being systematically targeted by my former employer with the assistance of certain
individuals, both at the workplace and outside the workplace. Fearing for my safety and
security, I decided to leave my job. Contrary to what I had hoped, however, leaving my
job and the town where I had worked did not put an end to these targeted actions against
me.
I had worked for my former employer at two of his properties—one in Castaic and the
other in Canyon Country. After leaving my job, I relocated to the San Fernando Valley,
approximately 25 miles south of Castaic. These individuals followed me there. Since
then, they have continued pursuing and targeting me inside virtually every type of
business establishment, including cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, and
gyms, as well as public institutions such as libraries, religious establishments, and my
subsequent workplaces.
They repeatedly sent people after me inside these establishments to provoke arguments
and confrontations in an attempt to elicit a reaction from me. Their objective was to use
any such reaction against me to discredit me as an individual and to delegitimize the
complaints that I have made against them.
They interfered in my subsequent workplaces with the same objective—to fabricate
allegations against me. Although they failed to do so, I was nevertheless forced to leave
one job after another as a result of their actions. They prevented me from obtaining
employment with the Los Angeles Police Department as a police officer and obstructed
my efforts to attend law school.
Additionally, after rendering me unemployed, these individuals interfered in my accident
case in an effort to delay my compensation. Their objective was to force me to leave the
Los Angeles region, or even the state altogether, so that I would no longer be in a
position to file complaints against them or against their client—my former employer and
his associates.
They also prevented me from securing legal assistance. Without any legal guidance, I
initially filed complaints with the state employment agencies. These individuals
affiliated with a government agency interfered in those complaints as well. The
deputy, Isabel Arreola, employed with the California State Labor Department, who was
handling my complaint, knowingly declined my complaint without following the
established procedures and knowingly issued official correspondence under an incorrect
name. When I brought this to her attention, she refused to reissue the official
correspondence under my correct name.
I filed an appeal. After ten months, the appeal was denied, and once again the decision
letter was issued under an incorrect name, effectively indicating that no complaint had
ever been filed by me. They knowingly harassed me at the direction of these individuals.
As a result, employees working at a California state employment agency not only
disregarded the complaint filed by an employee and sided with individuals enlisted by
my former employer—a private businessman—but also went beyond their official
responsibilities to harass me at their behest.
I have documented all of these matters in detail in the complaint draft submitted with US
Attorney Office & FBI(Los Angeles Field Office), including the dates, times, locations,
and the names of the individuals involved.
I went to the police station seeking assistance, but they refused to help me and instead
humiliated me. Throughout this entire ordeal, these few individuals affiliated with a
government agency, who were targeting me at the behest of a private business owner,
consistently overpowered me by misusing their official positions and by manipulating
the agency's resources, authority, and influence.
Throughout this period, they repeatedly signaled to me that they would not allow me to
take any legal action against their client—a private business owner who was allegedly
funding these individuals through a business association under the guise of business
contributions or organizational support.
When these individuals did not stop harassing, abusing, racially profiling, assaulting, and
threatening me on a daily basis, I filed complaints against them with the United States
Attorney’s Office in January 2025 and the FBI Los Angeles Field Office in June 2025.
However, so far, no action has been taken against these individuals, and they continue to
harass me on a daily basis.
They have been targeting me relentlessly for the past 4.5 years. Initially, their objective
was to prevent me from reaching out to state and federal agencies to report their
unlawful actions against me, which were carried out at the behest of a private business
owner. Now, their objective appears to be preventing me from consistently following up
on the complaints I have filed against them for their unlawful and unjust actions.
There also remains a clear threat to my safety, as their actions indicate that they will not
stop until I abandon my efforts to seek legal redress and accountability.
Over the past 4.5 years, these individuals have made numerous attempts to fabricate
allegations against me. Although they have not succeeded in doing so, I have suffered an
enormous amount of abuse, assaults, threats, and severe harassment at their hands
throughout this period on a daily basis.
Beyond violating my civil and legal rights, these individuals have violated my most
basic rights, freedoms, and liberties—rights that belong to every human being regardless
of their location in the world.
The only way they were able to carry out these actions was by misusing their official
capacity and manipulating agency resources to further their own interests, as well as the
interests of the business associations and individuals affiliated with them, ensuring that
they continued receiving monetary benefits through those associations.
I submitted a detailed complaint draft that included numerous incidents that occurred
over the past several years, beginning from the time these individuals started targeting
me in a vicious manner. The nature of the incidents described in my complaint leaves no
room for even the slightest confusion or doubt regarding the involvement of government
agency-affiliated individuals in those events.
These incidents were orchestrated setups intended to fabricate negative allegations
against me, entangle me in legal trouble, and ensure that they, their client, and his
associates could avoid accountability for their unlawful and unjust actions against me
over the past 4.5 years.
The orchestrated setups described in my complaint draft could not have been carried out
inside business establishments, public institutions, religious establishments, and my
workplaces without coercing the management or employees of those establishments and
institutions into participating or cooperating. They misled them and influenced them into
cooperating with them and facilitating their unlawful actions against me inside their
premises.
Now, because I reported these incidents in detail—including incidents that took place
inside establishments equipped with surveillance cameras—these individuals affiliated
with a government agency, who interfered with private businesses, public institutions,
religious establishments, and my workplaces, and who misled them into facilitating their
actions against me in order to fabricate allegations and create a false narrative, certainly
do not want any federal investigation into this matter.
Such an investigation would not only expose the involvement of those establishments
and institutions in facilitating these actions without any legal warrants or justification
against me, but it would also uncover:
— The extent to which these individuals are willing to misuse their official positions and
abuse agency resources to target an individual like me in order to further their own
interests, as well as the interests of those who allegedly provide monetary benefits to
them.
— The arrangement through which a private business owner could enlist the assistance
of individuals affiliated with a government agency (law enforcement agency) to target
individuals like me, threaten them, abuse them, harass them, and take whatever actions
necessary to prevent them from pursuing legal action against their client.
They are effectively shielding a private business owner from facing legal consequences
for his unlawful conduct by using intimidation and pressure against the person seeking
legal recourse.
I filed the complaint and submitted a complete complaint draft to the United States
Attorney’s Office in January 2025. However, I had already notified the United States
Attorney’s Office about my ongoing situation in March 2024.
In my complaint, I clearly stated that I was being targeted by a few individuals
associated with a government agency. I did not file a complaint against the entire
agency; rather, my complaint was specifically directed toward certain individuals
associated with that agency.
Since then, I have continued notifying the United States Attorney’s Office and the U.S.
Department of Justice that these individuals have been relentlessly attempting to
fabricate allegations against me. They have largely used people of color including people
from my Punjabi Sikh community to carry out these actions because, in my view, doing
so supports a narrative intended to counter my complaint against them.
None of these individuals—including people of color and members of my own Punjabi
Sikh community—know my side of the story. They have been misled and manipulated
by these individuals, who, in my view, have presented me in a negative light in order to
influence their perception of me.
Those individuals never come forward and attempted to talk to me, to know my side of
story. They do not have the slightest understanding of my actual circumstances. They do
not know how, over the past 4.5 years, these individuals affiliated with a government
agency have relentlessly abused, harassed, assaulted, threatened, overpowered, and
dehumanized me by misusing their official positions and manipulating agency resources,
allegedly at the behest of a private business owner.
Those people were certainly not aware of the circumstances I have been forced to endure
or the extremely difficult conditions I have been made to live through as a result of these
actions. They were being misled, coerced and used by these individuals to further their
interests.
Since I filed complaints against these individuals with the United States Attorney’s
Office and the FBI, I have observed through their actions that they are now attempting to
shift responsibility onto the agency itself.
Given that they have been misusing agency resources and their positions within the
agency for several years, and have done so openly without apparent fear of legal
consequences, it indicates that they not only have access to agency resources but also
have the ability and freedom to misuse those resources as they deem appropriate. This
further indicates that these individuals may hold positions of significant authority or rank
within the agency.
The entire arrangement—which allows private business owners like my former employer
to enlist individuals affiliated with a government agency to carry out actions that are
unlawful in nature, in order to avoid accountability for their own unlawful conduct or to
further their personal interests—relies heavily on the fact that these individuals have the
authority, access, and influence within the agency to manipulate government resources
for their own purposes and the purposes of those they are assisting.
The manner in which these individuals have relentlessly targeted me on a daily basis for
the past several years is indicative of a highly organized approach to carrying out such
prolonged campaigns of harassment, intimidation, and threats against individuals like me
on behalf of private business owners.
It is common sense, and it does not require any law enforcement background to
understand that:
— These individuals are not carrying out such prolonged campaigns for free or
voluntarily, while spending their own time, resources, efforts, and money on fuel and
other expenses. They are not dedicating years to pursuing an individual, following him
from place to place, and engaging in actions that carry a risk of exposure without some
underlying motivation or benefit.
— It is also difficult to believe that a single business owner could personally finance
such a prolonged operation. For example, a private investigator whose role is limited to
following, monitoring, and gathering information on a subject typically charges
significant fees based on hourly, daily, or contractual arrangements. A private
investigator does not possess the same level of access to resources, authority, or
capabilities as individuals affiliated with a government agency, nor can they perform the
types of actions that these individuals have carried out. Yet even for these limited
services, private investigators charge substantial amounts.
The point is that an individual business owner would not realistically be able to afford
the cost of hiring a private investigator for years, let alone finance the involvement of
multiple individuals in a 4.5-year campaign that continues to this day.
The nature, duration, and resources involved indicate the possibility of a broader
arrangement in which these individuals receive financial benefits through business
associations rather than directly from an individual business owner. However, I would
refrain myself from making any such assumption or allegation regarding the possibility
that there could be multiple such business associations tied to this arrangement and
working with these individuals, even though it looks more likely given the enormous
amount of time, extensive effort and resources these individuals spend to carry out such
long campaigns spanning several years.
If the scale and consistency of this prolonged campaign demonstrate anything, it is the
significant resources involved and the determination of those benefiting from this
arrangement to preserve it and continue receiving financial benefits—even if it requires
targeting individuals like me to the point of forcing them to abandon their efforts to seek
legal redress, or made them to face more severe consequences.
These individuals have completely destroyed and devastated my life at the behest of a
private business owner. They have taken away nearly five years of my life for something
I did nothing to deserve.
In my complaint, I have provided information regarding the individual affiliated with a
government agency who is leading this years-long abusive and threatening campaign
against me. This individual is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 60 years of
age, bald, and seemingly overweight, was driving Red Porsche suv on January 21, 2023,
when he pursued me inside the parking lot of Encino commons, Encino, CA, and
attempted to fabricate hit-and-run charge against me with help of African American
individual operating Gold color Lexus SUV, possibly affiliated with same agency. I
included incidents which were orchestrated setups in my complaint draft submitted with
US Attorney Office and FBI involving this individual with exact date, day, time and
location.
I also provided details about the individual who is leading the organized Iranian group. I
included information regarding when and where I observed him, as well as his actions
and involvement throughout this situation.
Along with numerous other Iranian individuals, he also involved his wife, daughter, and
two sons in this campaign of harassment and abuse directed against me.
As I mentioned earlier, I notified multiple agencies in writing about this situation;
however, I have not received any meaningful assistance so far.
I have been forced to resign from several jobs because of their unlawful interference in
my workplaces and their attempts to fabricate allegations against me by coercing my
coworkers. They also prevented me from obtaining employment with the Los Angeles
Police Department and from pursuing law school; the details of these matters have been
included in my complaint draft.
They also attempted to forcibly remove me from the city. As a direct result of their
unlawful actions against me, I lost multiple jobs, my health insurance, my vehicle, and
my housing. I am now living through extremely difficult and unbearable circumstances.
Despite their efforts to prevent me from reaching out to government agencies and
reporting their actions, I notified multiple agencies about this situation.
Given these circumstances, I have a reason to believe that these individuals are
proactively contacting agencies and misusing their official authority once again in an
attempt to downplay or dismiss the seriousness of this matter with a clear objective to
ensure:
— that the private business establishments, institutions, religious establishments,
establishment management personnel, or individuals who were misled and coerced by
them individuals to facilitate their actions against me will not be disposed, investigated
or questioned by federal agencies
— That these individuals themselves, along with my former employer—at whose behest
they targeted me they targeted me and completely ruined my life, would evade all
accountability and face no legal repercussions for their thoroughly unlawful conduct
To summarize my situation in a few brief statements:
I am a resource-less individual who was rendered unemployed and unhoused, with no
financial assistance and no family support. I am faced with multiple entities—including
my former employer, his associates, the business association with which he was
affiliated, individuals associated with a government agency, and an organized Iranian
group—who have access to extensive resources and the ability to manipulate those
resources.
For the past several years (approximately 4.5 years), these individuals and entities have
subjected me to a prolonged campaign of abuse, harassment, and threats. They are the
ones who have relentlessly targeted me, attempted to fabricate allegations against me,
forced me to endure desperate circumstances, and completely shattered my life.
After putting me through all of this, they are now attempting to prevent any investigation
into these matters and avoid accountability. To accomplish this, they are attempting to
downplay the seriousness of the situation and actively attempting to create a narrative
against me by using people of color, and more frequently individuals from my own
community, because this would fit a narrative to counter my legitimate complaints
against them.
This represents a gross misuse of agency resources and authority to further their own
interests and the interests of those who enlisted their assistance. The damage caused to
my life as a result of these actions has been irreparable.
My only path forward is for the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office to open an
investigation into the matters I have reported and take appropriate action based on my
complaint, beginning with assisting me in obtaining a restraining order against the
individuals who are primarily responsible for my current situation —
1. My former employer and associates:
Pankaj Patel and Kalpana Patel, along with their younger daughter and her
husband - Property owners at SPK Hospitality LLC and DSM Hospitality
LLC.
Raj Patel and his cousin sister, Rani Vrutti Patel - Resident-Inn managers.
They are related to husband & wife who manage the motel “El Cortez”,
located on Sepulveda Blvd in Van Nuys, CA.
Janak C. Patel - My replacement at DSM Hospitality LLC and Related to Raj
Patel and Rani Vrutti Patel
Gunjan(My replacement at SPK Hospitality LLC) and his companion, Minal
Patel.
2. Government-affiliated individual:
A Caucasian male who pursued me on January 21, 2023, inside Encino Town
Center, Encino, CA, operating a red Porsche SUV accompanied by an
African American male inside a gold-colored Lexus SUV and were
attempting to fabricate charges against me. This person appeared to be in
charge of this campaign against me. Though there were several other
individuals affiliated with a government agency are involved whose details
and description is included in the complaint draft.
3. Iranian group and affiliates:
An Iranian group operative, his wife, two sons, and a daughter, all of whom
have been complicit in a coordinated campaign against me.
An Iranian female identifying herself as Melody and her husband, who
appeared to be close associates of Iranian group operative and have aided and
abetted in these actions.
Details about these three entities are included in the complaint draft submitted with FBI
field office, Los Angeles and US Attorney Office, Central District of California, Los
Angeles.
I kindly request that you take some time from your busy schedule to write on my behalf
to the FBI Los Angeles Field Office and the United States Attorney’s Office for the
Central District of California in Los Angeles, requesting that they acknowledge receipt
of my complaint and pursue an appropriate course of action.
I would sincerely appreciate your assistance and support with this matter.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Harkiran Singh Kahlon

Good Afternoon Mr. Davis,
Kindly do not continue to ignore my emails. I respectfully request that your agency take appropriate and
timely action regarding my complaint. I continue to suffer at the hands of these individuals in the wake of
the continued inaction on this matter.
Thank you for your attention.

Good Afternoon Mr. Davis,
I have been attempting to obtain a response from your office for the past eleven months. During this time, I
have consistently sent emails—approximately twice a week—all of which have gone unanswered. It is
evident that my communications are being received, and you are fully aware of my situation; however, no
acknowledgment or action has been taken.
As I have repeatedly explained in my prior correspondence, I have been forced into extremely difficult
circumstances due to the actions of certain individuals associated with a government agency. These
individuals have allegedly acted at the behest of my former employer, a private business owner, and have
targeted me over the past four years in an effort to prevent me from pursuing legal action against them and
their client.
As a direct result of these actions, I have lost my employment, housing, and access to healthcare. My life
has been severely disrupted, and I continue to endure significant hardship due to this ongoing situation.
The continued delay in acknowledging my complaint and taking appropriate action is causing me to suffer
enormously. I am not requesting any special favor; my complaint falls within your jurisdiction, and I
respectfully expect it to be addressed accordingly.
I kindly urge you to respond to this matter without any further delay and to take the necessary action
regarding my complaint.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Harkiran S. Kahlon
Good Morning Mr. Davis,
The continued delay in response from the Los Angeles office is severely impacting my life. Despite
receiving no response from the FBI Los Angeles office, I continue to request acknowledgment and
appropriate action regarding my complaint.
The complaint I submitted to your agency involves individuals associated with a government agency who
abused their official authority and misused government resources to target me in a malicious and sustained
manner. Their actions have persisted over an extended period and continue without legal repercussions.
Their objective has been to intimidate and pressure me into abandoning my pursuit of legal redress, thereby
allowing them, their accomplices, and my former employer—who enlisted their assistance—to evade
accountability for their unlawful conduct and the severe harm inflicted upon my life.
The continued delay and inaction in this matter are only emboldening these individuals to persist in such
behavior and further advance their interests.
I sincerely request that you acknowledge my complaint and initiate appropriate action against the
individuals involved without any further delay.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Harkiran S. Kahlon
Kindly reply…. Because of continued delay in receiving a response from the FBI Los
Angeles office—and their lack of action regarding the complaint I submitted—I am
continuing to suffer.
I will never be able to reclaim the time I have lost. My life has been irreparably damaged
by criminal elements within the system. I respectfully request that you take immediate
action.
I am writing to follow up once again, as I have still not received any response from the
FBI Los Angeles Field Office.
I have been consistently keeping your office informed of my situation since last year.
After contacting multiple agencies regarding this matter, I became convinced that
without formally bringing this situation to the attention of broader law enforcement
authorities, it would never be addressed. I have made this clear in my previous
communications.
As stated repeatedly, this matter involves the abusive, biased, and unlawful conduct of
several law enforcement officials who acted at the behest of my former employer, a
private business owner. These individuals misused their official authority to subject me
to an inhumane situation that has now continued for more than four years. It is evident
that those involved have no interest in allowing this matter to be investigated, as doing
so would expose how official authority was improperly used to protect a private
individual from accountability while targeting me through intimidation, abuse, and
threats.
As a result of these actions, my life has been completely disrupted and irreparably
harmed, despite the fact that I did nothing to warrant such treatment. To date, no agency
has taken any meaningful action on my complaint.
I am therefore once again formally requesting that the FBI Los Angeles Field Office
accept my complaint and initiate an investigation. This case involves coordinated,
abusive conduct by multiple law enforcement officials who acted unlawfully to threaten
me and to prevent me from pursuing legal action against my former employer. Four
years of my life have been taken from me as a direct result of these actions, which were
carried out to benefit my former employer and his associates.
At this point, I have no remaining option other than to seek investigation through the
FBI.
While I am able to restate the entire sequence of events, I believe this would be
redundant, as I have already provided detailed accounts and documentation through
numerous emails over the past year. I will therefore conclude by respectfully requesting
that the FBI investigate this matter and provide me with the necessary information
regarding the individuals listed below— who are responsible for my situation, so that I
may proceed with obtaining restraining orders against them —
1. My former employer and associates:
Pankaj Patel and Kalpana Patel, along with their younger daughter and her
husband - Property owners at SPK Hospitality LLC and DSM Hospitality
LLC.
Raj Patel and his cousin sister, Rani Vrutti Patel - Resident-Inn managers.
They are related to husband & wife who manage the motel “El Cortez”,
located on Sepulveda Blvd in Van Nuys, CA.
Janak C. Patel - My replacement at DSM Hospitality LLC and Related to Raj
Patel and Rani Vrutti Patel
Gunjan(My replacement at SPK Hospitality LLC) and his companion, Minal
Patel.
2. Government-affiliated individual:
A Caucasian male who pursued me on January 21, 2023, inside Encino Town

charge of this campaign against me. Though there were several other
individuals affiliated with a government agency are involved whose details

3. Iranian group and affiliates:
An Iranian group operative, his wife, two sons, and a daughter, all of whom
have been complicit in a coordinated campaign against me.
An Iranian female identifying herself as Melody and her husband, who
abetted in these actions.
Additionally, my complaint draft identifies numerous other individuals who were
engaged by the aforementioned three entities in furtherance of their unlawful conduct. I
provided details about three entities in the complaint draft.
Thank you for your time and attention. I respectfully request acknowledgment of this
email and guidance on the next steps.
Sincerely,
Harkiran S Kahlon
