Bengaluru Police Assist Pregnant Bangladeshi Woman During Detention and Deportation
In Bengaluru, police detained 22-year-old Bangladeshi woman Asma Khatoon in July for allegedly residing illegally while she was eight months pregnant. During deportation proceedings, officers ensured she received prenatal care, accompanied her to medical appointments, and supported her through the birth of her second daughter on August 24. The police continued to care for Khatoon and her newborn, eventually escorting them and her four-year-old daughter to Malda, West Bengal, before their planned deportation to Bangladesh.
