West Bengal Court Frees Man After 3-Month Detention Over Bangladeshi Allegations

A man who had been held for three months in West Bengal on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi national has been released following a court ruling. The detention, which began earlier this year, was based on immigration concerns. The court found insufficient evidence to justify continued custody and ordered his release. The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of cross-border movement in the region.

The individual was taken into custody in January after authorities flagged him as a potential Bangladeshi national.

He remained in detention for 90 days while investigations were carried out.

In a recent hearing, the West Bengal court examined the evidence and concluded that the allegations were unsubstantiated.

The judge ordered his immediate release, citing lack of proof. The case underscores the legal procedures applied to suspected illegal immigration in the state.
