The report said that according to the five-member commission headed by a retired Supreme Court judge, there was a “persistent suggestion in law enforcement circles” that some Bangladeshi prisoners might still be languishing in Indian jails.
“We recommend the Ministries of Foreign and Home to extend their best efforts to identify any Bangladeshi citizens who may still remain incarcerated in India. It is beyond the jurisdiction of the commission to follow this trail outside Bangladesh,” the commission said.
The commission said it found intelligence information about the practice of captive exchanges between the two countries and the possible subsequent fate of detainees.
A few days ago, the commission estimated that the number of enforced disappearances would be over 3,500.
