“As soon as I was detained on January 27 and taken to the detention centre, they asked me to remove all my clothes, including my turban. We were allowed to wear only a T-shirt, a lower, socks, and shoes. They also removed our shoelaces. I and other Sikh youths asked them to at least return our turbans, but they refused. They said, ‘Who will be responsible if any of you hangs self to death?’ For all the days we were at the detention centre, we were not allowed to wear a turban. It was only after reaching Amritsar airport that I got my luggage back and wrapped my head with a parna (a cloth worn by Sikh men to cover their heads)," Jaswinder Singh told The Indian Express. Singh, 21, from Pandori Arian village of Dharamkot in Moga district, started his illegal journey to US after selling his family’s 1.5 kila of land and mortgaging their 2-room house. The family even had to sell their buffaloes to raise Rs 44 lakh, which they paid to an agent to get Jaswinder to the US. Close to midnight on Feb 15, Jaswinder was among the 2nd batch of Indian nationals deported by US.
