No repeat of Sunali Khatun case, government will be cautious: Bengal CM on undocumented immigrants

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari stated that his government will be cautious in handling cases of alleged undocumented immigrants to avoid repeating incidents like that of Sunali Khatun, a pregnant woman who was forcibly sent to Bangladesh last year. Khatun was later returned to India after the Supreme Court intervened due to her advanced pregnancy. Adhikari emphasized that undocumented immigrants would be deported but noted that the current administration would not adopt the same approach as the previous regime. Over 4,800 individuals deemed ineligible for citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act have been deported recently, with more expected to follow. Since a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP-led states have detained Bengali-speaking Muslims, many of whom were sent to Bangladesh after failing to prove their Indian citizenship.
