The West Bengal–based human rights organization Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) has accused India’s Border Security Force (BSF) of coercing people suspected of being Bangladeshis toward the border and attempting to push them into Bangladesh. In a statement released on Sunday, APDR announced a protest march in Malda on June 11 to oppose these alleged actions. The group linked the situation to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s earlier “Detect, Deport, Delete” policy promise, which it claims has led to the establishment of detention centers and land transfers to BSF.
According to APDR, many people, including women and children, are stranded in the no man’s land between India and Bangladesh as BSF denies responsibility for them while Bangladesh’s Border Guard (BGB) refuses entry. The organization said the stranded individuals face severe hardship due to lack of food, water, and shelter, creating a humanitarian crisis.
APDR’s vice president Ranjit Sur demanded the immediate repeal of the “Three D” policy, the return of stranded people to safety, and the suspension of pushback operations. He also urged the UN Human Rights Council to intervene, warning that the situation risks crimes against humanity.
