Amritsar: “The life was not easy as I have thought, it was only realized when I was deported from US to India just after reaching at US, since I was arrested by the US border patrolling forces due to entry in their country without legitimate travel document” says Jaspal Singh .
Jaspal Singh resident of Fatehgarh Churian fifteen kilometers away from the Amritsar city narrating his tale of woe said, “The life was not easy as I had planned. I have invested above Rs. 40 lakh to move to the US in search of greener posture in life and to give a better life to my wife and children living in India while earning a handsome amount in the US but my dreams turned into ashes, immediately after my arrest by US forces at Mexico border of US”.
Adding further he said, “Initially I went to Brazil on a valid visa then Europe as guided by the agent who charged a hefty amount to take me to the US but unfortunately he deceived me in a very bad manner. I was nabbed by the US border patrolling forces immediately after crossing US border”.
“After my arrest they handcuffed me and took me to an undisclosed location for eleven days. I only came to know about my deportation to India when I was forced to board a US plane with other Indians. At that time, all the Indians including me were handcuffed, even laces of shoes were removed to make us unable to escape even our feet were also chained till we landed at Indian Airport”, he narrated.
Singh said that having a dream to reach the US with thought of greener posture had to sell agricultural land in the village and loan from different institutions was availed but now all hope dashed to ground.
