Chennai: Tension prevailed at Chennai International Airport on Friday, as parents of 21 students, deported from the United States (U.S.), had to wait for more than three hours to receive their children.
These students, most of them hailing from Ongole and Hyderabad, had been deported from the U.S. as the two universities they were studying at had been blacklisted by U.S. authorities.
They reached the Chennai airport from London at 5.30 a.m. by British Airways flight BA 35.
The students were then asked to wait at the immigration counter for questioning.
Ayub, a parent, said he was waiting to receive his daughter and had had no idea about when she would come out of the airport after the questioning at the immigration counter.
