Gaurav Gogoi Seeks Government Help to Trace Assam Women Sent to Bangladesh
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has appealed to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to help locate and repatriate two Assam women, Jahanara Begum and Mumtaz Begum, who were sent to Bangladesh in June 2026. Both were declared foreigners by the Nagaon Foreigners Tribunal in 2019 but successfully challenged this in the Gauhati High Court, which ordered a fresh review. Despite this, the women were detained and expelled before receiving updated tribunal decisions, prompting Gogoi's call for government intervention.
