'I was pushed across the border into Bangladesh at gunpoint'
A 58-year-old woman, Shona Banu, was allegedly pushed across the border from India to Bangladesh at gunpoint by authorities, along with around 13 others. This incident is part of a series where people in Assam, suspected of being "illegal Bangladeshis," have been rounded up and sent across the border without due process. The situation is complex due to long-standing issues of citizenship, ethnic identity, and migration in Assam, with tensions rising amid efforts to crack down on alleged illegal immigrants.
