India Returns 60 Bangladeshis Detained After Illegal Entry
Imagine some people from Bangladesh went to India to look for work without permission.
The Indian authorities caught them and held them.
After talking with Bangladesh, India sent them back home.
The border guards from both countries met at special points to make the handover.
The people were then given to the Bangladeshi police, who made sure they could go back to their families.
This happened after they had been in jail for some time.
India is also making it harder for people to cross the border illegally.
60 Bangladeshi nationals were deported back to Bangladesh.
The deportations occurred on October 25, 2025, at the border.
The individuals had entered India seeking employment.
The returnees were handed over through flag meetings.
The operation follows stricter border security measures.
