A US military C-17 transport aircraft carrying undocumented Indian immigrants landed in Amritsar on Wednesday, sparking concerns over mass deportations. The Indian government assured Parliament it is engaging with the US to ensure dignified treatment of deported individuals. Legal experts say returnees face no prosecution unless they used fake documents. However, they may be barred from re-entering the US or other Western nations. Calls are growing for action against travel agents exploiting desperate migrants. “The hammer should now fall on them,” said advocate KK Manan. Investigations into illegal immigration networks are ongoing.
