A viral video claiming to show an Indian man being deported from the United Kingdom after living there for three decades has stirred strong reactions on social media.
The clip, first posted on TikTok by user Deepa Rangra Wala, shows the man being driven to the airport by friends. Text over the video reads: “Deport after 30 years from UK.”
In the footage, a man can be heard speaking Punjabi, saying: "It has been 30 years since he arrived in England. He never had the right papers to stay. Today they are deporting him. We are here to drop him to the airport ourselves. This is our last bit of time with our brother. He worked here for 30 years, got his family settled, but now he has to go back to India."
The TikTok video was later shared on Instagram by UB1UB2: Southall, West London, with the caption: “Poor lad.”
Mixed Reactions from the Public
The post quickly gained over 200,000 views, with people expressing everything from sympathy to scepticism.
One commenter said it was “quite upsetting but hope he lives a good life,” while another questioned the situation: “After 33 years in the UK, he would not be deported unless criminal activity was involved.”
Some wondered about his friendships, asking: “Where are all the English people he made friends with during that time?” Others tried to remain optimistic: “Hope he becomes a billionaire in India.”
Many social media users criticised the alleged deportation. One wrote: “He should have been granted citizenship; he lived in the country for 30 years.” Another accused the UK of double standards: “Deporting working class so they can get people that claim benefits, typical UK style.”
While the exact details of the man’s immigration status remain unclear, the video has reignited discussions about long-term migrants, citizenship rights, and the complexities of immigration law.
