Ferozepur, Punjab: On reaching home, Sourav, a US deportee, says, "I entered the US on January 27. We were caught by the police within 2-3 hours of entering the US. They took us to the police station, and 2-3 hours later, we were taken to a camp... We stayed at the camp for 15-18 days. There was no one to listen to us. Two days ago, we were told that we were being shifted to another camp. When we boarded the flight, we were told we were being sent back to India... I spent nearly Rs 45 lakhs to go there. My parents sold our lands and borrowed money from relatives to fund the process... I want help from the government because my parents sold our land and took a loan, but all that went in vain... I left India on 17 December... First, I went to Malaysia, where I stayed for a week; then took the next flight to Mumbai, where I stayed for 10 days. From Mumbai, I went to Amsterdam, then to Panama to Tapachula and then to Mexico City. From Mexico City, it took us 3-4 days to cross the border... Show less
