Life Style News.The American dream of Indian Kapil Raghu, who lives in the state of Arkansas, USA, suddenly shattered. He left his house as usual but his life changed in routine traffic checks. The police investigated his car and saw a designer perfume bottle. “Opium” was written on the bottle, which the police considered drug ie opium. Kapil kept explaining again and again that this is a fragrance, not a drug, but no one paid attention to him.
This misunderstanding brought Kapil directly to jail. The police arrested him without delay. For three days, he spent time behind the prison bars. The family was shocked and Kapil himself was in shock. Later, when the bottle was sent for examination, it was proved that it was really perfume. But by then both Kapil’s honor and his chain had taken away. Despite being innocent, he was treated like a criminal.
Kapil married an American woman and had been trying to get citizenship for a long time. He believed that he would soon become an American citizen. But this incident changed everything. In the body’s bodycam footage, it can be heard clearly that the officers are calling the bottle opium. Kapil kept explaining lacquer but he was not heard. This incident is an example of how a small mistake ruins the future of a human being.
Kapil’s difficulties did not end even after coming out of jail. American immigration canceled her visa. This means that now they can no longer live in America. They are under threat of Deportation. Kapil’s lawyer says that the problems to the visa were due to the mistake of his previous lawyer. But Kapil is suffering the brunt of all this.
Kapil’s American wife Ashley Mess said that this case has also reversed his life. All the money was over in the fees of the lawyers. Now they have to do three jobs to run a house and fight the case. Ashley says that her husband is innocent and he is trapped due to the system’s mistake. She said that she wants to save her husband under any circumstances but the fight is very difficult.
The case has questioned the action of the US police. The investigation report made it clear that the bottle had perfume, not drugs. Despite this, Kapil was arrested and put in jail. Many people are asking whether Kapil was easily targeted due to being Indian origin. The Indian community is also looking at it with racial discrimination.
Today Kapil’s story is a warning for every Indian migrant. They are scared that they may not make such a mistake with them. The sword of Deportation is hanging on Kapil’s life. Neither can they live peacefully in America, nor are they able to muster the courage to return to India. Now everyone’s eyes are on whether the court and immigration authority gives relief to Kapil.
