Calcutta High Court Questions Citizenship Detention of Four Bengal Men Amid Pending Appeals
Four migrant workers from Murshidabad, West Bengal, have been detained in Chhattisgarh for over a month on suspicion of being Bangladeshi nationals after their names were deleted from the voters list during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). While 19 others were released following court orders, these four remain in detention. The Calcutta High Court has questioned the Bilaspur Foreigners Registration Officer's decision to determine their citizenship amid pending appeals against their electoral roll deletion, highlighting concerns over procedural contradictions.
