The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) raised the issue of alleged pushbacks of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants during the Director General-level talks with India's Border Security Force (BSF) in New Delhi, which concluded on Thursday, June 13, 2026.
According to official sources, the BGB delegation complained that some Bangladeshi nationals were being pushed back into Bangladesh territory by BSF personnel, a practice that violates bilateral protocols. The BSF, however, maintained that its actions are in line with standard operating procedures to prevent illegal cross-border movement.
The talks, held from June 11 to 13, also covered border management, smuggling, and coordinated patrols. Both sides agreed to enhance cooperation and maintain peace along the 4,096-km border.
No official statement was released by either side regarding specific incidents or numbers of pushbacks. The issue is expected to be discussed further at lower-level meetings.
