50 Bangladeshi nationals sent to West Bengal for deportation

Fifty Bangladeshi nationals have been sent to West Bengal for deportation, according to authorities. The individuals were handed over to Indian officials at a border crossing point.

The group was apprehended for illegally entering India and residing without proper documentation. Officials processed them for return to Bangladesh under existing bilateral agreements.

The deportation follows standard procedures for foreign nationals found to be in the country without valid visas or permits. Authorities confirmed that the individuals were escorted to the border and transferred to Bangladeshi counterparts.

India and Bangladesh maintain protocols for handling such cases, including verification of nationality and coordination between immigration agencies. The process aims to address illegal immigration while respecting legal frameworks.
