India, Feb. 7 -- In Tahli village of Hoshiarpur district, Harwinder Singh wept like a child after meeting his family on Wednesday. Recalling his "nightmarish" experience after he left for the US, Harwinder, in his 40s, said he had lost hope of ever returning home and seeing his children as he saw a member of his group dying in the Panama jungles and another drowning in sea while being on the "donkey" route. Claiming that he had paid Rs.42 lakh to a travel agent to take him to the US, he said, "Contrary to what was promised, I was made to catch a flight to Qatar and then to Brazil. I was told that I will be flown to Peru but was instead taken to Panama by road and made to take the donkey route. We remained without food for days together. The sea journey was equally perilous. Now, we have returned home, bruised and empty-handed." Another deportee, Sukhpal Singh, 35, of Darapur, recalls starvation, physical pain and mental agony during his four-month journey from Italy that ended at a US detention facility. He was sent to Italy in October last by an agent with the promise that he would be taken to the US in a convenient way....
