<h1>Treatment of deportees in restraints prompts formal Indian protest and will be raised during upcoming bilateral discussions.</h1> Union minister Ramdas Athawale criticised deporting undocumented Indian nationals in restraints after a US aircraft carried deported migrants, some of whom reported being cuffed throughout the journey. India has officially registered concerns with the United States, and the minister indicated the issue will be raised during forthcoming bilateral discussions during the prime minister's visit, framing the matter as one of consular and human treatment concern arising from immigration enforcement.
