AMRITSAR/CHANDIGARH, feb 16 (PTI): A US plane carrying 116 illegal Indian immigrants landed at the Amritsar International Airport late Saturday night, official sources said.

A C-17 aircraft landed at the airport around 11.35 pm as against the expected time of 10 pm, sources said. This is the second batch of such Indians to be deported by the Donald Trump administration as part of its crackdown on illegal immigrants.

It was not immediately clear whether the deportees were in shackles, like the previous batch was.
