Kaur commented that “My son, an American citizen who travelled 18 hours to Delhi to visit us in Punjab, was deported. Put in the next flight back to New York. They did not give a reason.

It is the cutting-edge reporting of Vice News that gets to them.”
Singh has produced a series of documentaries on the COVID-19 pandemic in India as also on the farmers’ protests on the borders of the national capital against the now-repealed three farm laws. Singh’s coverage of the deadly Delta wave of the pandemic last year had earned him an Emmy nomination.
Officials have been approached by all media national and international in outrage of this deportation. They have yet to release a statement stating the facts of this situation.
