Deportations in the United States: Emergence of New Complaints #
Judicial authorities in the Punjab region have recently recorded two new complaints against travel agents. These complaints bring the total number of cases to ten related to practices that strip victims seeking illegal access to the United States. The sudden increase in complaints underscores the urgency and severity of the situation. The latest filings were made after false promises by certain agents who misled victims about their chances of entering American territory.
The Victims and the Agents Under Investigation #
The new complaints primarily involve six agents, portrayed as scammers by the authorities. The victims found themselves deceived by “false promises” regarding immigration opportunities. These cases testify to an alarming phenomenon where individuals, particularly from the Tahli locality in Hoshiarpur, have been duped. The agents in question were Jaskaran Singh, Mahinder Singh, Hardev Kaur, Sujan Singh, Happy, and Gill, accused of devising a sophisticated exploitation scheme. The complaints have been filed at the NRI police station in Hoshiarpur.
Persistence of the Victims’ Blindness #
Despite the abuses suffered, many deportees remain reluctant to report the offenses. According to an analysis conducted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), several victims were assured by the agents that part of their money would be refunded. This assurance, although false, instills a form of resignation in the victims. SIT members have taken the initiative to personally contact each deportee to encourage them to file official complaints.
A Thorough Investigation #
The SIT, led by ADGP (NRI affairs) Praveen Sinha, is striving to assess each incidence of fraud. It is now examining the links between the agents and the various networks involved in illegal emigration. To date, 28 cases have been evaluated, revealing that each deportee legally left India using valid visas before reaching other countries. A report also noted the complex routes used to enter the United States, often utilizing false documents.
The Illegal Immigration Network #
Investigations have uncovered immigration networks that exploit legal pathways for subsequent access to illegal routes. Deportees have taken various paths through several countries, including Panama and Mexico, to reach their final destination. Several transited through countries like Dubai, Spain, and Italy. Connections with local conduits, members of travel companies, appear to form a well-oiled system of fraud.
The Call for Public Cooperation #
The Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, urges the public to provide any pertinent information to counter these networks. Every reported fraud must be notified in order to dismantle these complex immigration networks. Awareness and information exchange are a key focus for eradicating these frauds. Citizen collaboration proves essential to ensure that others do not become victims of deceptive appearances.

The Table of Recent Deportations #
The climate of fear continues, particularly among immigrants, as illustrated by the arrival of a U.S. military flight at Amritsar Airport. This flight transported 104 illegal immigrants, highlighting the risks faced by those hoping for a better life. Deportation statistics are on the rise, further intensifying the stakes related to immigration and the concealment of scams orchestrated by malicious agents.
