In India’s deportation drive, Muslim men recount being tossed into the sea

Article here. The politics of religion aside, would any government do this to women? No. It's unthinkable, isn't it? Excerpt:

'Indian police dragged Hasan Shah from his bed in western India one morning in late April. Later, he said, officers bound his hands with rope, placed a blindfold over his eyes and put him on a boat bound for Bangladesh.

After three days at sea, Shah said, they stood him on the edge of the vessel with a life vest, untied his hands, uncovered his eyes and gave him a final order at gunpoint: “Jump into the water,” Shah remembered the officers saying.

“If you look back, we’ll shoot you.”

Shah said he swam to dry land, where he was picked up by the Bangladeshi coast guard and taken to the city of Satkhira, in the country’s southwest, an account corroborated by the coast guard. The documents proving his Indian citizenship were snatched by police when they detained him in his hometown of Surat in India, Shah said. He is stranded now in a foreign country, effectively stateless, separated from his wife and four children who rely on his meager income as a waste picker.'
