The deportations were carried out through the borders located in Bangladesh’s Sylhet, Meherpur and Moulvibazar.
India pushed back a total of 19 Bangladeshi infiltrators in Meherpur on Sunday morning. They were then taken by the Border Guard Bangladesh to a temporary shelter.
The Bangladeshi citizens who were living illegally in India were later taken into custody by the police. They infiltrated Indian territory at various points in time and resided in the State of Haryana. After being intercepted, these 19 infiltrators were brought to Berhampore in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal and then pushed back to the Bangladeshi side.

BGB commanding officer Lt Col Mehedi Hasan lamented, “After Saturday’s push in through the Kanaighat border, we increased our vigilance in the border. However, the BSF managed to push in 153 people through five points in the border between 2:00am to 8:30am.” (as reported in OpIndia.com)
There are reportedly more than 2 crore illegal immigrants in India and a considerable percentage of them are from Bangladesh. The Centre has clamped down on such people across the country before handing them over to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). Many of these illegals, who completed their jail sentences, have their nationality verification pending since 2020.
Now the Bangladesh Army has accused India of "pushing in" undocumented individuals, saying illegal immigrants should be deported through proper channels. Brigadier General Md Nazim-ud-Daula who is the director of Bangladesh's Military Operations Directorate, said the BGB has been handling the issue effectively "within international protocols". but added that the army was read to intervene if the government instructed.
