Pregnant Sunali Khatun and her eight‑year‑old son returned to India 162 days after being pushed back to Bangladesh as alleged illegal immigrants. Their repatriation followed a December 1 bail order from a Bangladesh court. On Wednesday evening, the duo crossed into India at the Mahadipur border in Malda after coordination between the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). While Sunali and her son were brought back, four others — including her husband — remain in Bangladesh. Social workers hailed their return as a historic moment, highlighting the struggles of migrant families wrongly labelled illegal. (PC: X)
