A 45-year-old Virginia doctor who earned hundreds of thousands of dollars playing poker was arrested by federal agents on Tuesday for allegedly breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to court records.
Karthik Ramakrishnan, a resident of the small town of Bluefield, was taken into custody in connection to four separate charges related to his presence in the Capitol building. A seven-page criminal complaint obtained by The Daily Beast outlines how he allegedly entered the Capitol six minutes after it was first breached.
Wearing a surgical mask—that he eventually removed—and “banging a small drum,” Ramakrishnan wandered around the Capitol for just under half an hour before walking out one of its front doors.
