Dhaka says India waits 'until dark' to 'push in' people, criticises deportation drive: Report

Bangladesh has accused India of waiting until nightfall to push individuals across the border, according to a report. The allegation comes amid criticism of a deportation drive by Indian authorities.

Dhaka officials stated that Indian security forces deliberately conduct cross-border movements after dark to avoid detection. The practice has been described as a method to forcibly transfer people into Bangladesh.

The report highlights growing tensions between the two neighbors over border management. Bangladesh has raised concerns about the timing and nature of these operations, calling for greater transparency.

India has not yet responded to the specific allegations. The border between the two countries has long been a source of friction, with both sides accusing each other of illegal crossings and human rights violations.
