India accused of illegal deportations targeting Muslims
- Indian authorities launched a nationwide security drive following the April 22 attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people, mainly Hindu tourists.
- This drive, aimed at migrants mainly in BJP-ruled states, resulted in thousands detained and hundreds deported without trial to Bangladesh since May.
- Several deported individuals, including Muslims like Rahima Begum and mason Nazimuddin Mondal, report being forcibly pushed across borders despite showing Indian IDs.

- These actions sparked fear among India's 200 million Muslims, especially Bengali speakers, and worsened India-Bangladesh relations amid accusations of ethnic profiling.
