In some cases, this seems to be intentional and some kind of alternative to using য় <09AF 09BC>. See for example https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/কেএফসি_টুয়েন্টি২০_বিগ_ব্যাশ where ভিক্টোরিয়া (with <09B0 09BF 09AF 09BC 09BE>) is used for “Victoria” on most lines and ভিক্টোরিা (with <09B0 09BF 09BE>) on another line, or https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/বিকল_ভাষা where ভারিয়ান্ট (with <09B0 09BF 09AF 09BC 09BE>) is used for “variant” on some lines and ভারিান্ট (with <09B0 09BF 09BE>) on other lines. I guess using য়া <09AF 09BC 09BE> is better, but that’s just my guess.
