‘They don’t belong in US’: Massive row over ‘Raj Transport’ after truck driver ‘removed at gunpoint’ in Arkansas

'They don't belong in US': Massive row over 'Raj Transport' after truck driver 'removed at gunpoint' in Arkansas

Another incident of a semi-truck driving in the wrong way in Arkansas surfaced.

Amid the controversy of Indian-origin truck driver Harjinder Singh killing three people by his wrong driving in Florida, a similar incident has surfaced in Arkansas. Social media users erupted over the video, pointing out that the semi truck involved in the wrong driving in the Arkansas incident has ‘Raj Transport’ written on it, and therefore must have employed aliens unaware of US driving rules. According to local media reports, the incident took place recently on the I-55 bridge. One Raleigh May Cupples, who was driving her car, said the vehicle in front of her had to change lanes, and she saw a semi-truck was driving in her direction. Arkansas State Police arrived on the scene and an officer opened the door of the truck, coming on the wrong side and pulled the man out. The driver apparently resisted and then several other cops with guns joined the efforts to pull the driver out of the vehicle and take him to the ground. “RAJ Transport out of California. I’m shocked….. NOT! These foreigners that don’t speak English need to be taken off the road. Every one of them,” one social media user commented, pointing out that the truck belonged to some Raj Transport.”Not one of these fu**ing people is qualified nor belong in the USA,” another wrote. Police have not yet said anything about Raj Transport or the driver. The issue of foreign truck drivers breaking US traffic rules and endangering lives became a hot-button political discourse after Indian-origin Harjinder Singh was found to be an illegal alien. Singh entered the US illegally in 2018 and was arrested immediately. But he sought asylum in the US. While his immigration case remained disputed, he got a work permit and a driver’s license..
