The incident got highlighted because out of all the passengers 24 were admitted to Canada, but the other 352 passengers were not allowed inside Canada, and the ship was forcefully returned to India. The ship was carrying the majority of Sikh and Punjabi Muslims passengers. The ship was returned only after two months of privation and uncertainty which later took the form of an embroiled controversy.
