Bangladesh, largely encircled by land by India, has seen relations with New Delhi turn icy since a mass uprising toppled Dhaka’s previous government last year.
“Only yesterday, they pushed 50 individuals.”
India has not commented on the recent returns across their shared border.
“They picked us up from home and put us on a plane,“ Molla told AFP, adding that after two weeks in a camp, he was then taken onboard a ship, along with more than 50 others, almost all men.
“They dropped us... the coast guard rescued us and handed us over to the police”.
India shares a long and porous border with neighbouring Muslim-majority Bangladesh.
More than a million escaped to Bangladesh, but others fled to India.
Md Touhid Hossain, who heads the foreign ministry in the caretaker government, said Dhaka was “putting all our efforts” into resolving the issue through dialogue.
In February, Amit Shah, India’s interior minister said “the issue of illegal intruders is also related to national security, and it should be dealt with strictly”, adding that “they should be identified and deported”.
