Of 116 deportees who arrived Saturday in Amritsar on a US military plane, 33 are from Haryana. Of the 33, nine hail from Karnal. Anuj’s father Ashok made a fervent appeal to Centre for strict action against such travel agents. The family in Jundla village is now seeking govt intervention to prevent others from being duped by dubious travel agents, says Ashok, who lives in the same village as Anuj. He says his family sold their house for Rs 45 lakh to fulfil their son’s American dream, only for him to be sent back Saturday after four months to Amrit’sar along with other deportees.
