Indian Student Handcuffed, Pinned At US Airport: 'Treated Like A Criminal'
Last Updated: An Indian student was handcuffed and pinned at Newark Airport, as shared by Kunal Jain on X. The student was crying and treated like a criminal by authorities A video has been going viral on social media where an Indian student was handcuffed and pinned at a US airport. Kunal Jain, an Indo-American social entrepreneur, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a photo of the Indian student who was being deported from Newark Airport last night. He said the student was crying and was treated like a criminal by the authorities, as he was handcuffed and pinned to the ground. I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night— handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy. @IndianEmbassyUS #immigrationraids — Kunal Jain (@SONOFINDIA) June 8, 2025 'As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy," Jain wrote on X. Jain, President of HealthBots AI, said that the student was speaking in the Haryanvi language. 'I could recognise his accent where he was saying 'I'm not insane, these people are trying to make me look insane'," he wrote. In the post, Jain said, 'These children get their visas and get on a flight in the morning. For some reason, they are unable to explain the reason for their visit to the immigration authorities and are sent back on the evening flight tied up like criminals. Every day 3-4 such cases are happening. There have been more such cases in the last few days." First Published: June 09, 2025, 18:00 IST

‘Need your help': FBI chief Kash Patel reaches out to India to combat China's fentanyl supply chain
'I literally just got off the phone with the Indian government… I said, I need your help. This stuff's coming into your country and then they're moving it from your country because India is not consuming fentanyl,' said Patel read more FBI Director Kash Patel has said that the US administration has sought the help of Indian law enforcement agencies to take down a China-backed global fentanyl network. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Patel said that although India is not a major consumer of fentanyl, it is increasingly being used as a transit hub for chemical precursors produced in China and shipped to Mexican drug cartels. 'They're going to places like India, and I'm also doing operations in India,' Patel was quoted as saying on the podcast. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They're having the Mexican cartels now make this fentanyl down in Mexico still,' he added. China evading scrutiny Patel accused Chinese suppliers of evading scrutiny by routing fentanyl precursors through third countries like India to avoid direct enforcement. He claimed this tactic is part of a calculated effort by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to target the US population, saying suppliers are 'getting cute' with their smuggling routes. 'You don't hear fentanyl deaths in India. You don't really hear fentanyl deaths in England, Australia, New Zealand, or Five Eyes partners in Canada,' he said. 'The CCP have used it as a directed approach because we are their adversary.' 'Why don't we go and take out generations of young men and women who might grow up to serve in the United States military, or become a cop, or become a teacher?' he added. FBI, India coordinating on crackdown Patel said the FBI has established direct lines of communication with Indian authorities to curb the flow of fentanyl precursors. 'I literally just got off the phone with the Indian government' he said. 'I said, I need your help. This stuff's coming into your country and then they're moving it from your country because India is not consuming fentanyl.' 'We're going to find these companies that buy it and we're going to shut them down,' he added. Patel confirmed that joint operations between the FBI and Indian law enforcement are already underway. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We're going to sanction them. We're going to arrest them where we can. We're going to indict them in America if we can. We're going to indict them in India if we can,' he added. According to a Times of India report, several Indian chemical manufacturers have been named in US indictments. Vasudha Pharma Chem Limited and two of its senior executives have been charged with conspiring to ship four metric tons of NPP, a fentanyl precursor, to the US and Mexico. Two other firms, Raxuter Chemicals and Athos Chemicals Pvt Ltd, were also indicted for allegedly supplying similar chemical precursors. India outreach personal, strategic Patel, the son of Gujarati immigrants, said his dealing with India was driven by both personal connections and strategic priorities. 'India is not the problem,' he said. 'But if we don't get ahead of it, it could become one,' he added. He also alleged that Mexican cartels have rerouted their trafficking channels through Canada, using Vancouver as a new hub. 'They're flying it into Vancouver,' he said, adding, 'They're taking the precursors up to Canada, manufacturing it up there, and doing their global distribution routes from up there because we were being so effective down south.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Strategic threat Patel said China's role in the fentanyl trade isn't driven by profit. 'They're not making a ton of money off it,' he said. 'So it's really just for that purpose.' He warned that chemical precursors have already appeared in Five Eyes countries and claimed the Chinese Communist Party is 'just waiting to deploy' the finished product. 'The fentanyl itself isn't being deployed into your country, but it's there being manufactured,' he said. 'The CCP just hasn't directed it at you yet, and they know that,' he added. Patel estimated that synthetic opioids caused over 74,000 deaths in the US in 2023, calling the fentanyl crisis 'a tier one national security threat.' With inputs from agencies
