Pregnant woman, son who were forced into Bangladesh brought back to India

Now in her advanced stage of pregnancy, Khatun was brought back through the Mahadipur border in West Bengal’s Malda district and was rushed to Malda Medical College and Hospital for examination, according to the officers present at the border.

Sunali Khatun is a 26-year-old pregnant woman who was deported to Bangladesh in June this year along with her minor son Sabir Sheikh and husband Danish Sheikh on suspicion of being illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. They were picked from Delhi's Rohini on June 24, where she reportedly worked as a domestic help, and were deported to Bangladesh on June 26, Hindustan Times had reported earlier.

Along with Khatun and her family, three people of another family were also deported to Bangladesh. There, all six of them were arrested by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and jailed for crossing the border without proper travel documents.
