Illegal Indian Immigrants Return Live Updates: Third US flight with 112 deportees lands at Amritsar airport

Among the 119 landed yesterday night, 100 are from Punjab and Haryana. While 67 are from Punjab, 33 are from Haryana, eight from Gujarat, three from Uttar Pradesh, two each from Goa, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, and one each from Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. A senior police official said those from Goa, Gujarat and Maharashtra are being transported to their respective states via early morning flights.

Amid the row over “inhuman” treatment of deportees, sources told The Indian Express, the second batch of Indians were handcuffed and shackled. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed his commitment to repatriate the immigrants during his visit to the US, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann slammed him saying, “While Modi was shaking hands with his friend Donald Trump, Indian citizens were being deported in chains on a military aircraft. The chained Indians being sent back are Trump’s return gift to Modi.”
