Karnataka High Court Quashes Detention of Man Misidentified as Bangladeshi Migrant
The Karnataka High Court quashed the detention order against Rafikul Biswas, a Bengaluru school bus driver held on suspicion of being an undocumented Bangladeshi migrant. The Election Commission confirmed the authenticity of his voter ID issued during West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision, affirming his family's long-standing residence in India. Biswas was detained in August 2025 and later released on medical grounds after heart issues. The court criticized the West Bengal government for delays in examining the case, while Biswas questioned the origin of documents used against him.
