40 Rohingya refugees allegedly deported by the Indian government to Myanmar...
Three months after they were removed from India's capital, the BBC managed to contact the refugees.... Most are staying with the Ba Htoo Army (BHA), a resistance group fighting the military in the south-west of the country.
On 6 May the 40 Rohingya refugees...were taken to their local police stations under the guise of collecting biometric data. This is a yearly process mandated by the Indian government where Rohingya refugees are photographed and fingerprinted. After several hours they were taken to the Inderlok Detention Centre in the city, they told the BBC.
On 7 May, the refugees said they were taken to Hindon airport, just east of Delhi, where they boarded planes to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an Indian territory in the Bay of Bengal.
The next day, on 8 May, at about 19:00 local time (12:30 GMT), the refugees were told to climb down a ladder on the side of the naval vessel. Below, they described seeing four smaller rescue boats, black and made of rubber.
The refugees were made to board two of the boats, 20 on each and accompanied by several of the people transporting them. The two other boats, which led the way, had more than a dozen personnel on them. For more than seven hours, they travelled with their hands tied.
He said they were given life jackets, their hands were untied - and they were told to jump into the water. "We held on to the rope and swam more than 100m to get to the shore," he said, adding that they were told that they had reached Indonesia.
Then the people who'd taken them there left.

The Rohingya Muslims are from Bangladesh, and neither India nor Myanmar want them.
We need to send all those H1B Indians back the same way.
Let’s see. India went to bat for East Bangladesh in’71.
Only 40 of them? Non-issue.
Proper deportation. Now get ready for target practice on the rafts and boats.
Burma doesn’t want them either.
It will always be Burma to me!
Ask politely and show that you have something to contribute and you will find someplace that will let you in.
Why is the BBC tracking down deported illegals ?
Because they are Muslim.
Agreed.
Well done operation.
India know how to deport.
“The Rohingya Muslims are from Bangladesh”
No. They were driven out of Burma and hundreds of thousands took refuge in Bangladesh.
