The commission's findings indicate that some Bangladeshi citizens may have been detained in secret facilities within India. Notably, the case of Shukhranjan Bali, who was abducted from the Bangladesh Supreme Court premises and later discovered in an Indian prison, exemplifies these concerns.
The commission has identified eight clandestine detention centers located in and around Dhaka. These facilities were allegedly used to hold individuals who had disappeared, often without formal charges or legal proceedings.
The commission's report also references intelligence suggesting that personnel from India's Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) were involved in operations targeting Bangladeshi dissidents. Reports allege that approximately 400 R&AW-trained officers were deployed to Dhaka to suppress protests, employing tactics similar to those used in other regions.
These revelations have prompted the interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, to seek the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India. Hasina fled to India following a student-led uprising that resulted in her ousting. The interim administration aims to hold her accountable for human rights violations, including enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, that occurred during her rule.
