Amritsar: Among the 119 Indians deported from the US is Jatinder Singh of Bundala village in Amritsar, whose return has left parents in unbearable grief and crying.

The parents of the youth, Jatinder Singh Jatinder Singh, who is around 23 years old, said that Jatinder Singh had left Delhi five months ago through an agent in search of his dreams and livelihood to fulfill his dreams, but today he has been deported.

Jatinder Singh’s father Gurbachan Singh and mother Rajinder Kaur said with drenched eyes that the agent had taken around Rs 45 lakh from our son that he would be brought to the US within 10 days, but what did they know that it would take five months for our son to go to america.

He said that the agent lied and sent our son with a stick. “Around January 23, we had a conversation with Jatinder during which he said he would cross the US wall for a day or two and reach the US

However, yesterday, the police told them that Jatinder Singh had been deported and sent back to Punjab.

“We had sold all the land and sent our only son Jatinder Singh abroad that the situation at home would have increased and the future of the son would also be good. Jatinder Singh is the only brother of two sisters and both his sisters are married,” he said.

“We had sold the jewellery of our daughters on our land and sent her out. But what we knew was that our situation would get worse, our daily bread would also be difficult to sustain.”
