India detains and deports 5,000 Bangladeshis
India has deported nearly 5,000 Bangladeshi citizens since the BJP's victory in West Bengal, with the state government establishing detention centers for undocumented migrants and Rohingya refugees. The campaign aligns with the BJP's 'detect, delete and deport' policy, amid political tensions over immigration and deteriorating relations with Bangladesh following a 2024 revolution.
