‘Six months on ‘dunki’ route, 11 days in US detention’

Jaspal Singh, 36, left Punjab chasing an American dream but faced detention, deportation, and a ₹30 lakh loss, returning to Amritsar with shattered hopes.

In February 2024, Jaspal Singh left his home in Punjab’s Fatehgarh Churian,

dreaming of a fresh start in the US.

He had put everything on the line—his savings, his trust, and the hope of a better future.

However, instead of opportunity,

he faced detention and deportation, returning with ₹30 lakh lost and his dreams shattered.
