"No courts for infiltrators at Howrah Station", CM Suvendu orders direct handover to BSF

Walking the talk of the "Zero-Tolerance" policy against illegal immigrants, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari explicitly stated that if any illegal foreign national or undocumented infiltrator is apprehended within the expansive jurisdiction of the Howrah Railway Station premises, the local law enforcement machinery must bypass regular judicial production protocols. Instead of processing these detainees through local criminal courts for judicial remand, the police commissioner has been directed to immediately hand them over to the custody of the Border Security Force (BSF).

This aggressive modification of standard police operating procedures is aimed at cutting through bureaucratic and legal red tape that frequently stalls the deportation of illegal immigrants. Chief Minister Adhikari emphasized that traditional legal routes often lead to protracted trials and long-term stays in state correctional homes at the taxpayers' expense. This directive comes a day after Suvendu Adhikari met with the BSF, where he initiated the "Detect, Delete and Deport" measure.

By mandating an immediate transfer of custody directly to the central paramilitary force at major transit points like Howrah Station, the administration intends to fast-track bilateral deportations through coordinated actions between the BSF and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
