**After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government in a student-popular uprising, many former ministers, MPs, and Awami League associates became desperate to leave the country. Some even paid millions of taka to enter India with the help of broker syndicates. However, no one could enter for less than 2 million taka. Some lost large amounts of cash and dollars, while others even lost their lives. Yet, the exodus to India has not stopped. As a result, identified brokers at various points along the India-Bangladesh border are flourishing.**

There are allegations that many VIPs sought the assistance of officials from both countries’ administrations to cross the border. However, no one is willing to speak openly on this matter. Since the administration was arranged by Awami League allies, many are grateful and have offered full support to help these individuals leave the country without hindrance, and this continues even now.

After the fall of the government, several Awami League leaders and activists were caught by the public while attempting to flee to India via the Bhomra border in the Satkhira region. Among them were Nirab Hossain alias Khora Tutul, cashier of former Barishal City Corporation Mayor Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah; Amzad Hossain, cashier of Khulna Mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleque; and Chanchal Kumar Mitra, organizational secretary of the Rupsha Upazila Awami League. They were later handed over to the local police by the military personnel on duty.

Locals say that several areas along the borders of Kalaroa, Debhata, Kaliganj, and Shyamnagar upazilas are known as safe havens for human trafficking brokers. Both land and water routes are used to cross the border openly. In particular, there are at least eight secret paths or crossings at the Kalaroa border that provide opportunities for illegal entry into India. These include the Charabari, Keragachi Rathkhola, Garakhali, South Bhadiyali Yusuf’s Ghat, North Bhadiyali Anarul and Razzak’s Ghat, Hijaldi, Sultanpur, and Chanduria crossings.

According to the Jugantor reporter in Satkhira, during normal times, the cost of crossing into India without a passport ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 taka per person. However, due to the current situation, these figures have increased. Now, Awami League members are entering India under contracts ranging from 500,000 to 2 million taka. Once the specific amount is paid, members of the broker syndicate arrange for a safe crossing by boat into India. On the Indian side, brokers show them bus routes to reach cities through secret paths. Some are even provided with arrangements to stay securely in Indian homes under monthly agreements.

When asked, Lutfor Ali, a resident of the Bhadiyali border area in Kalaroa, told Jugantor that after evening, the area becomes unguarded. During this time, many outsiders come by car. Some of them attempt to cross the border into India. However, after learning that Awami League leaders are entering India through this route, local residents have become more vigilant. If they spot any suspicious persons, they notify the local BGB camp.

Sources indicate that among the former ministers, MPs, and politicians who successfully fled to India after the government fell, some of the key figures include former Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel, the controversial MP of Narayanganj Shamim Osman, and Awami League's office secretary Biplob Barua. Among them, Shamim Osman is reported to be in Delhi, while Nowfel and Biplob Barua are staying in the Barasat area of West Bengal.

It was reported that Nowfel and Biplob Barua entered India on September 8 with the help of brokers. They later arrived at the home of an Indian citizen named Jewel, originally from Chittagong, in the Barasat area. At some point, Biplob Barua's brother, Bidyut Barua, the deputy director of Chittagong Medical University, who was receiving treatment in India, joined them there.
