The deportations take place only after the Indian nationality of the people are confirmed. The US authorities provide ls of people to be deported and the Indian side then confirms their nationality, he said.
“People have been coming in batches on commercial flights. Last week also, we had people who came back,” Jaiswal said.
The deportation of more than 300 Indians in three US military flights earlier this year triggered a controversy as women and children too were handcuffed.
