US journalist Angad Singh, associated with American news and entertainment company Vice, was deported from the Delhi airport on Wednesday night, his family said. His mother Gurmeet Kaur, a writer, said that the authorities didn’t give a reason to deport him, adding, “But we know it is his award-winning journalism that scares them”.
“Angad Singh covers South Asia. He had made a documentary on the Shaheen Bagh protest. The Government must be upset due to that documentary. His request for a visa as a journalist to make a documentary on Dalits in India was rejected recently. Now, he was coming for a family reunion and was on a personal visit. But he was sent back from the Delhi airport,” said a family member.
