As many as eight Bangladeshi nationals who were being held in different jails in Assam on Saturday were sent back to their country via the Sutarkandi border crossing in the Karimganj region.

According to a senior Karimganj district officer, they handed over to members of Border Guard Bangladesh, a paramilitary organization in Bangladesh (BGB).

After the completion of the necessary legal procedures, the Bangladeshi nationals, including a woman, who had been detained in the past few years on suspicion of entering the country unlawfully were deported.

According to the official, five of the deported Bangladeshi nationals were previously apprehended in the Karimganj area, two in Guwahati, and one in the Cachar district.

The most of them were Sylhet district inhabitants from Bangladesh who were incarcerated in Assam due to their unauthorized entry into India.

They crossed the Indo-Bangla border into Assam at several points without any legitimate documentation.

Two people who were detained in Guwahati in 2019, 45-year-old Fahima Begum and 30-year-old Mohammad Rahim Miya were later found to be mentally challenged.
