Overview

  • India has requested Bangladesh to verify the nationality of 2,360 undocumented migrants, with cases pending since 2020, to facilitate deportation.
  • The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that all foreigners staying illegally in India, regardless of nationality, will be dealt with according to Indian law.
  • State-level enforcement has escalated, with Assam implementing 'pushback' policies and Delhi Police deporting or detaining undocumented Bangladeshi migrants.
  • Bangladesh has raised concerns over reports of individuals being pushed back into its territory without proper documentation, including Rohingya refugees.
  • The crackdown follows heightened security concerns after recent terror incidents and political instability in Bangladesh, further straining bilateral relations.
