A Bangladeshi student studying in the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Silchar, Assam was sent back to her country on Monday after she allegedly liked an anti-India post on social media, police said.
The student, who had been enrolled at NIT Silchar since 2021, faced backlash after liking a Facebook post critical of India, which was shared by a former Bangladeshi student. However, NIT Silchar authorities said that the student herself expressed desire to go back home for a while and she applied for leave on Sunday.
The controversy gained attention when a former student of Assam University Silchar shared screenshots of the student’s social media activity last week, leading to several complaints being filed against her in Silchar and other parts of Assam.
On Monday morning, the student was escorted to the India-Bangladesh international border in Karimganj, where she crossed into Bangladesh under strict security at around 11 am.
