Human Rights Watch alleges Indian authorities are forcibly deporting Bengali residents, predominantly Muslims from West Bengal, to Bangladesh without legal proceedings. The accusations center on actions by India’s Border Security Force (BSF). The report claims Bangladesh’s Border Guard (BGB) is also involved, actively hindering the return of those expelled. HRW asserts these actions violate international law, denying individuals the right to due process and potentially placing them at risk. The organization calls for investigations into the alleged abuses and protection for those affected. The report highlights a pattern of irregular border pushbacks impacting a vulnerable population. Further details regarding the scale and specifics of the expulsions are expected in a forthcoming HRW report.
