International Desk: A group of 148 individuals, detained in Rajasthan, India, on suspicion of being ‘illegal Bangladeshi residents,’ have been transferred to Agartala in Tripura. Indian authorities have also announced plans to deport over 600 additional ‘identified Bangladeshis’ to Bangladesh. This action is part of a nationwide operation to identify ‘infiltrators,’ which intensified following the Pehelgam attack.
The operation in Rajasthan has sparked allegations of wrongful detention of Indian Bengali-speaking Muslims. According to BBC reports, while many detainees were released after identity verification, 148 individuals, identified as ‘Bangladeshis,’ were flown from Jodhpur airport to Agartala on Wednesday in a special aircraft. Sources at Agartala airport confirmed the plane’s arrival around 7 PM local time. It is believed these individuals will be ‘pushed back’ to Bangladesh.
Last week, 72 people were reportedly ‘pushed in’ to Bangladesh through the Tripura border, as confirmed by local authorities. Similar incidents have occurred along the Kurigram, Sylhet, and Moulvibazar borders. In Rajasthan, police detained 1,008 individuals, identifying 761 as ‘illegal Bangladeshis.’ Those with verified Indian documents are being released.
Concerns have been raised by voluntary organizations, which report receiving over 200 complaints in recent days, alleging that Indian Bengali-speaking Muslims were detained under the pretext of identity verification. Some detainees, including Indian citizens, were held without being presented in court, raising questions about legal violations.
Rajasthan has established three new ‘detention camps’ for this operation, bringing the total to four. Released Indian detainees have reported prolonged detention despite presenting valid identity documents, with some finding their homes looted or electricity disconnected upon return.
The operation continues to draw criticism for allegedly targeting Indian citizens and bypassing legal protocols, as authorities press forward with deportations.
