Karnal, Sept. 29 -- Akash Rana, 20, from Kalram village of Karnal's Gharaunda subdivision was deported in February. Six months on, he is back abroad, but this time in Canada. "Akash was eager to go back despite the grim reality during his return from the US. He reached Canada in June and is living happily," elder brother Shubham Rana said. Akash was among the 33 deportees from Haryana in the first US aircraft that landed at Amritsar on February 5. Desperate to live a life in a foreign country, he landed in the US illegally just 11 days before he was deported. Shubham said he sold two acres to arrange the money and spent Rs.45 lakh to send Akash to the US. "Our father died in 2006 and our mother remains unwell. It was getting difficult to make ends meet. So, we sent Akash to the US so that he could help the family," he added. The family did not pursue a police case against the travel agent and managed to get a refund of nearly Rs.14 lakh of the Rs.45 lakh spent earlier. "I arranged more money and ensured that my younger brother landed in Canada safely. He will soon get good work and send us money," he added. Next: Changing course after lesson learnt...
