A Bangladeshi woman has alleged that India’s Border Security Force (BSF) tied empty plastic bottles to her and her three daughters to keep them afloat, then pushed them into the Feni river along the Tripura border in the dark of night, in a chilling account of abuse at the border.
At least 109 people were pushed into Bangladesh from India through various border points in eight districts between Wednesday night and yesterday, according to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
These push-in operations are political signals—of frustration and control.
Bangladesh has called on India to immediately stop the recent push-in of people across the border, warning that such actions pose risks to security and undermine mutual understanding.
