Thirty Bangladeshi teenagers, including eleven children, have returned home from India after serving various prison terms for illegally crossing the border. The repatriation took place on Wednesday evening through the Petrapole-Benapole border under a special travel permit issued by both governments. According to Rekha Biswas, program officer of the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers’ Association, the returnees were detained by Indian police in different areas of Kolkata and later imprisoned in the city’s central jail. Following diplomatic coordination, they were granted travel permits to return to Bangladesh. Upon arrival, Benapole Immigration Police handed them over to Benapole Port Police, who will transfer them to three NGOs for temporary care and legal assistance before reuniting them with their families. Officials said the youths hail from Khulna and surrounding districts, and legal support will be provided to those who need it.
