Calcutta High Court Upholds Entry Ban on Bangladeshi Wife Over Fraudulent Documents
The Calcutta High Court upheld immigration authorities' refusal to allow entry into India for Srabanti Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi national married to an Indian citizen, citing her fraudulent acquisition of Indian documents including a voter card and PAN card. Despite holding a valid multiple-entry visa until September 2026, she was denied entry in August 2026 after traveling to Bangladesh. The court dismissed her husband's petition seeking permission for her and their minor son to enter India, affirming the authorities' decision under immigration laws.
