Deported Pregnant Sunali Khatun Back in India, Recounts 'Torture' in Bangladesh Jail

  • Pregnant Sunali Khatun, deported to Bangladesh, has returned to India with her son following a Supreme Court directive on humanitarian grounds.
  • Khatun recounted her "torture" experience in a Bangladeshi jail, where she was held for over 100 days as an alleged "infiltrator."
  • She is currently hospitalized in Birbhum for observation until childbirth and expressed concern for her husband and other deportees still in Bangladesh.
  • The Supreme Court intervened after her family's petition, emphasizing humanitarian aspects over immigration technicalities and suggesting citizenship verification via her father's documents.
  • Trinamool Congress MP Samirul Islam, who steered the legal battle, called her return a "victory of the oppressed" and aims to bring back the remaining four deportees.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court intervention protects human rights in deportation cases.
