Human Rights Watch has accused the Indian government of forcibly deporting hundreds of Bengali Muslims to Bangladesh, including individuals legally residing in India. The organization claims that even lawful citizens are being mislabeled as “illegal infiltrators” under the Hindutva-driven BJP government—a move it deems a violation of international human rights laws. Between May and June, at least 1,500 people, including some Rohingyas, were pushed across the border. HRW also alleges coercion and threats by India’s Border Security Force (BSF). Bangladesh has stated it will not accept anyone without verified documentation. The UN has labeled this a violation of the principle of non-refoulement.
