Mohali, February 14, 2026
Heartbreaking end for Samgoli village’s Hardeep Singh (28). Body arrived home from Mexico today – 4 months after death from hunger/thirst on illegal “donkey route” to US dreams. Tearful last rites held amid community grief.

Harrowing Ordeal

Journey: July 2024, agents duped Hardeep with fake Nepali documents. Paid ₹38 lakh. Abandoned in Mexico jungle room without aid.​
Desperate Plea: Pre-death video begged Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann for help.

Legal Battle for Repatriation

Identity Hurdle: Forged papers delayed verification. Fingerprints sent from India to Mexico confirmed citizenship via police/embassy.

Punjab Police Action: Derabassi FIR vs 2 agents; 1 arrested, 3-day remand. Second fugitive hunt on.

Hardeep’s story warns of deadly illegal migration risks – family shattered after exhausting fight to bring son home.
