Us departation: Jaspal Singh of Fatehgarh bangles in Punjab left India on 24 February 2024 to dream of starting a new life in America. He walked for America, putting his savings, his faith and a better future at stake, but instead of getting a good start, he got detention and depotation (exile). Along with this, he also lost his full savings and also shattered dreams.
Jaspal is one of the 104 Indians who were released by American military aircraft on Wednesday. All these 104 people were illegally living in America. These people returned to India after President Donald Trump’s strictness and new policy over illegal migrants. Trump is sending all illegal migrants living in America to their country in the same way.
Wanted to go with a valid visa but …
Jaspal wanted to settle in America legitimately. For this, he also gave 30 lakh rupees to the agent, but the agent cheated. Jaspal says, ‘My agreement with the agent was that he would send me to America legitimately with a proper visa but I got cheated. This deal was worth 30 lakhs and now all my money was also submerged. The agent first sent me to Europe from Punjab. It seemed to me that I was going legally. From there I went to Brazil and then I was sent to the ‘Dunki’ route.
Dunky spent 6 months on route
Jaspal says that it took him 6 months to reach America from Dunki route and as soon as he crossed the border and entered America, he was arrested by the patrol soldiers. He reached America in this January. He stayed for 11 days in America and all these days went into custody.
Bring handcuffs and fetters
He says, ‘When I was seated in a military aircraft, I felt that some other detention center was being taken. I did not know that these people are sending me back to India. Later an official told that we are going back to India.
Jaspal says that he was sent from America with handcuffs and fetters. His handcuffs were opened just before reaching Amritsar. When he came out of the military aircraft, he came to know that he had returned to India.
