A US military plane carrying 117 illegal Indian immigrants, including 65 from Punjab, landed at Amritsar’s Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport at 11.32 pm on Saturday, said officials.
Apart from the 65 Punjabis, the flight brought back 33 persons from Haryana, eight Gujarat, three Uttar Pradesh and two each from Goa, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, said the officials. One deportee each was from Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Five of the deportees were women.
It was the second such batch of Indians to be deported by the Donald Trump administration within 10 days as part of its promised crackdown on illegal immigrants
