Of these, two FIRs have been registered with the district police and six FIRs with the NRI Affairs wing of Punjab Police.

This action is related to those Indian citizens who were deported from the United States and reached Amritsar. Punjab Police has recorded statements against those travel agents who have cheated them by making false promises of illegal entry into America.
