To maintain security and privacy, deportees were kept away from media interactions. Upon arrival, they were temporarily held near the domestic lounge, where IB officials conducted primary questioning. Once cleared, local police verified their details based on the list provided by Amritsar authorities. A total of 60 police personnel were deployed at the airport, including 1 DCP, 2 ACP, and 6 PIs.

Among the deported individuals, a majority were young men, with one family also part of the group. After leaving the airport, they were taken to their respective Local Crime Branch (LCB) offices, where their statements would be recorded as part of the legal procedure.

Legal procedures and delays

While most deportees were quickly processed and escorted to their destinations, some faced delays due to pending coordination with district police officials. They were temporarily held inside the airport until verification was completed. Once all legal formalities were fulfilled, they were released and transported under police supervision.

The Gujarat Police and state authorities have ensured a well-organised process for their reintegration, with further investigations to follow in the coming days.
