Jammu and Kashmir authorities on Monday, 5 October 2026, deported 150 Bangladeshi nationals who were allegedly staying illegally in the Union Territory. The deportees were flown from Srinagar to Bagdogra in a special Indian Air Force aircraft and handed over to Border Security Force personnel, officials said.

Another batch of 150 Bangladeshi nationals is scheduled to be deported on 7 October. The deportations are part of a continuing process by authorities to send back Bangladeshi nationals found staying illegally in Jammu and Kashmir.
Both Kashmir Life and The Economic Times report the same facts with no difference in framing or emphasis: 150 Bangladeshi nationals were flown from Srinagar to Bagdogra on an IAF aircraft on 5 October and handed over to the BSF, with a second batch of 150 due on 7 October. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, attributing all details to officials and police. Neither outlet questions the process, cites opposition or provides independent verification. The next concrete event is the 7 October deportation of the second batch.
