Three Indians turned away at Manila airport

Three Indian nationals were turned away by immigration officials at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 for holding cancelled return tickets to New Delhi, India, their port of origin.
The three flew in from Singapore last Wednesday on board a Philippine Airlines flight. Immigration officials had earlier been tipped off by Singaporean government officials that the three Indians were holding cancelled return tickets.
The three were identified as Kuldip Singh, 31, Turna Gurpreet Singh, 20, and Sukh Jinder Singh, 21.
Terminal 2 Travel Control and Enforcement Unit member Nelson Valdez said the three presented their passports to Terminal 2 immigration and said they were all businessmen who were attending a symposium in Manila. Valdez said he then asked them to take off their neckties and put them back on, but the three could not after trying for more than an hour.The three were immediately led to a holding area for questioning and to process them for the next available flight back to New Delhi, their port of origin.
As of Sunday afternoon, it was learned that the three Indians were still at the Terminal 2 immigration holding area because they did not have money to buy their return tickets.
