Police to be friendly with those deported from US: Punjab DGP
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday said the government would be friendly with the immigrants who would land at the Amritsar airport on Wednesday after being deported from the US.
“However, criminal antecedents, if any, would be checked and due action taken,” he said.
Police officials said teams had been deputed to take details from each deportee on the history of their illegal immigration. “These people can provide real inputs about the illegal immigration, including donkey routes and how travel agents fleece people,” said an official.
The DGP was answering media queries about how the police would deal with more than 200 illegal immigrants deported from the US and sent to India on a special flight.
“We don’t know yet about the identity and their cases but are in touch with central agencies,” Yadav said.
Besides police, central agencies are also likely to question and record statements of the immigrants when they land in Amritsar at 8 am.
