A family of 14 men, women and children – all Bengali Muslims from Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur district – were allegedly forced into Bangladesh by the Border Security Force in December, a relative told Scroll. This was confirmed by Bangladesh border officials, who detained them in the no man’s land between the two countries.
The 14 people, belonging to one family, had been living in Odisha for over seven decades, their relative Saiful Ali Khan said. The eldest among them is a 90-year-old woman.
