Six people from West Bengal deported by Delhi Police
In one letter, Bhodu Shek has alleged that Danish Sekh, his wife Sunali Khatun, and their minor son Sabir Shek were deported by the K N Katju Marg police station that falls under Delhi's Rohini police district on June 26.
According to Shek, his daughter and son-in-law went to Delhi on May 5 and were detained on June 18 by officers from the K N Katju Marg police station (Rohini).
'For the verification process we submitted voter cards, Aadhaar cards, and land deeds to the local police, but they did not release them,' said Khatun's cousin Roshni Bibi, who was also her neighbour in the capital. She added that at the time, the family of three was detained; the police did not take the daughter since she was living with her aunt, away from Shek's residence.
Thorough interrogation
Speaking to The Hindu, DCP (Rohini) said that these three 'Bangladeshis had no valid documents and had admitted that they were Bangladeshis, only then were they sent back.' He added that the family in question was from Bagerhat and that they have been sent back to Bangladesh. 'They were deported along with many Bangladeshis, on June 26 by a flight from Delhi after obtaining deportation orders from the FRRO,' said the DCP
A similar letter was written by Anjela Bibi from Murari, Birbhum, who wrote to the Delhi Police about her family members: Sweety Bibi, her elder son Kurban Sheikh, and minor son Iman Dewan.
Bibi, Sweety's mother-in-law, alleged that the family of three hailing from Murarai, who were living in Delhi and working as waste pickers, were detained on June 18, along with the other three people from Birbhum. 'The two families lived in Rohini as neighbours and were waste pickers,' she said adding that her neighbours in Birbhum told her that her daughter-in-law and grandsons had been detained and later deported on June 26.
The six people were detained from Bengali Basti in Rohini's sector 26, and according to a Delhi Police general diary, both the families allegedly told the police that they were from Bagerhat, Bangladesh, following which they were handed over to the FRRO.
The two families told The Hindu that they will be approaching the court over the 'illegal' deportation.

HC was likely to take up the petitions on Friday, Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP and state migrant workers' welfare board chairperson Samirul Islam said. The pleas said two families of migrant workers were picked up by Delhi Police during an "identity verification drive" among the Bengali-speaking population. Among the detained, Sweety Bibi and her two minor sons as well as Danish Sheikh, his wife Sunali Khatun and their five-year-old son were sent to Bangladesh, Islam alleged.

"Sunali's sister informed us of what had happened. On July 6, I took her father Bhodu Sk to Paikar police station and lodged a missing diary," he said. "Sunali is now four months pregnant. It is terrible that their five-year-old son is also going through these traumatic events, only because they speak Bengali," Pintu added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Sunali's sister, Roshni Bibi, who also works as a ragpicker in Delhi, said: "From June 18 to June 22, they were kept in Delhi's Katju Nagar police station. I met her there. My sister later called me from Bangladesh and said some people had given her shelter on seeing that she was pregnant." The petition said Sweety's husband, Azizul Dewan, went missing four years ago, so she supported the family, including her aged and ailing parents. The HC petitions stated that all six were Indian citizens and permanent residents of Paikar, and were unlawfully detained by Delhi Police in an extrajudicial manner. The petitions said they had valid Indian documents; proof of their parents' citizenship was also submitted in court. The petitions said the six were deprived of their liberty and had their human rights violated, because they were detained and pushed out of the country for speaking their mother tongue, undermining the pluralistic ethos of India.
