An Indian Muslim man, about 60 years old, has been stranded for several days in the no-man’s land between India and Bangladesh near the Dewanganj border in Jamalpur. According to local sources and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), members of India’s Border Security Force (BSF) from Assam’s Nandirchar camp allegedly tried to push the man, a resident of Chennai, into Bangladesh through the Jhaudanga border. BGB personnel and local residents intervened to prevent the push-in, but the man became trapped between the two borders, living under harsh conditions without food or shelter.
BGB’s Jamalpur-35 Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Hasanur Rahman said BSF had been attempting illegal push-ins in recent days and that BGB, along with locals, was maintaining heightened vigilance. Human rights activist Jahangir Selim stated that forcing any person across borders without verifying citizenship violates international law and human rights principles. Local residents claimed similar incidents have occurred recently, mostly involving poor and marginalized Indian Muslims.
The incident has raised questions about citizenship, humanity, and state responsibility, as the stranded man’s plight symbolizes the human cost of border disputes and exclusionary policies.
