This does not seem right to me. I know several people who have dual citizenship.
According to findlaw.com
"The United States does not formally recognize dual citizenship. However, it also has not taken any stand against it, either legally or politically. Typically, no American will forfeit his or her citizenship by undertaking the responsibilities of citizenship in another country. This is true even if the responsibilities include traveling with a foreign passport, voting in another country's election, or running for and/or serving in public office of another country. In most cases, it is unimportant to U.S. authorities whether another country also claims you as a citizen.
Acquiring Dual Citizenship
A person in the United States may acquire dual citizenship in one of several ways, including:
Being born in the United States to immigrant parents.
Being born outside the United States to one parent who is a U.S. citizen, and another parent who is a citizen of another country.
Becoming *advertiser censored*naturalized U.S. citizen*while maintaining citizenship in another country.
Regaining citizenship in a country of origin after having become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
If you hold multiple passports, it is important to keep those documents current and to use them appropriately in each country. You should also keep yourself apprised of citizenship requirements, such as tax obligations. If you do not fulfill your duties as a citizen to each country, you may be legally liable for those omissions."

Here is India's stance on dual citizenship:
People in India, very often confuse between holding dual citizenships with Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) introduced by the the Govt of India. The Indian constitution does not allow dual citizenship or simultaneously holding two passports of different countries.
Here are the facts:
* The Indian constitution does not allow or recognize dual citizenship.
* The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) scheme does not get you dual citizenship.
* The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) scheme does not give you Indian passport.
Automatic loss of Indian citizenship covered in Section 9(1) of theCitizenship act 1955, provides that any citizen of India who by naturalisation or registration acquires the citizenship of another country shall cease to be a citizen of India. This means you have to give up Indian passport and citizenship to the nearest Indian embassy, should you become citizen of foreign country. A seal is affixed at the back of passport mentioning it is a punishable offence under Indian Passports Act of 1957, of any possession of indian passport, should the passport holder acquires nationality of another country. https://best-citizenships.com/india-dual-citizenship.htm
