Roychowdhury, 29, has been charged with one count of attempting to cause damage with a fire or explosive in connection with a May 2022 firebombing of Wisconsin Family Action's office in Madison.
According to the Department of Justice, the attack was perpetrated by far-left pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge, who claimed the attack was “only a warning” and threatened to destroy the “medical imperialism” infrastructure. The incident saw two Molotov cocktails thrown into the office and graffiti sprayed on the building’s side with the words, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.”

Although the crime was committed in May 2022, it was only now that investigators from the Department of Justice followed Roychowdhury and took DNA samples from a fast-food container he discarded, which matched samples from the crime scene. He had previously worked as a research scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and held a position at Promega Corporation since 2022.
