Following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ensuing violence in Bangladesh, there has been a significant attempt by Bangladeshi citizens to flee to India for safety, particularly in the border areas of West Bengal. The Border Security Force (BSF) has reported stopping hundreds of individuals, including families, at various points along the border, with estimates ranging from 400 to 600 people seeking asylum. Many of these individuals claim they are 'under attack' in Bangladesh and are desperate for refuge, but the BSF has maintained strict border controls and has not allowed entry without valid documentation. In response to the escalating situation, the BSF has heightened its alert status and coordinated with the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to return those attempting to cross illegally. The political turmoil in Bangladesh has led to calls for calm from the newly appointed interim leader, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who urged national unity amid ongoing protests and violence that have claimed hundreds of lives. Amid this crisis, there are growing concerns, particularly among Hindu communities in Bangladesh, who are reportedly facing targeted violence and appeals have been made for their safe passage into India.
