Bangladesh Family Awaits Supreme Court Verdict
Sweety Bibi and her two sons are stuck in Bangladesh and can't go home to India.
They were taken by the police in India and sent back to Bangladesh because someone said they weren't Indian.
The court in India is going to decide if they can come back.
Sweety is scared and hopes the court will let them return.
Her family in India is also worried and waiting for the court's decision.
Another family member, Sunali Bibi, was already allowed to come back to India, but Sweety and her sons are still waiting.
Sweety Bibi and her two sons are confined in Bangladesh, awaiting a Supreme Court verdict to return to India.
They were declared illegal infiltrators and pushed back to Bangladesh on June 26.
The next hearing in their case is scheduled for January 6, 2024, in the Supreme Court of India.
Sunali Bibi, another family member, was allowed to return to India on December 5.
All relevant documents proving their Indian citizenship have been submitted to the court.
