Assessment rationale/justification
According to Blyth (1863) this species was distributed in lower Bengal. Poché et al. (1982) mentioned that the Short Tailed Mole Rat (Nesokia indica) had the most restricted distribution being found only in well drained areas of northwestern Bangladesh. According to Khan (1982, 2015), Sarker and Sarker (1988) this species is uncommon in Bangladesh, but they did not mention local range or exact and probable location. Sufficient information is not available to assess this species. Thus, it is categorized as Data Deficient.
