"It was painful," Banwait told CBC Toronto. "They put me in a room there, they locked it and put two security guards with guns."
Banwait alleged that he was not given a place to lie down and the cold weather made his back pain worse. He was also not allowed to go to the washroom unassisted.
Those closely following the disintegration of Canada-India relations over the last few years say this is an example of an increasing trend of India harassing and blacklisting Sikhs and journalists.
"Nobody listens to you. They'll put you in jail and you're gone," Banwait said, expressing his concerns about the lack of recourse for Sikh Canadians.
