Sunali Khatun Returns Home After Bangladesh Jail

Sunali Khatun Returns Home After Bangladesh Jail

Sunali Khatun is a 25-year-old pregnant woman who was pushed into Bangladesh with her family in June.

She recently returned to India and visited her parents' home in Paikar village.

However, she fell sick and was taken to the hospital.

She was also kept under observation in Malda for 24 hours after crossing the border with her son.

Sunali was brought home in an ambulance and later admitted to Rampurhat Medical College and Hospital.

She has a 5-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son.

Sunali alleged that her ordeal began in June when she was arrested by Delhi Police merely for speaking in Bengali.

She claimed that without any investigation or legal procedure, the group was handed over to the BSF and pushed into Bangladesh.

The incident has triggered strong reactions among local residents and rights activists, who have questioned the role of Delhi Police and termed her detention a serious violation of constitutional rights.

For now, Sunali says she wants only to return to a normal life after what she describes as an eight-month nightmare.
