West Bengal Women, Child Detained as 'Bangladeshis' in Thane: Protests Lead to Release

Three women and a child from West Bengal were wrongfully detained as suspected Bangladeshi nationals in Thane, Maharashtra, despite having valid Indian documents. AIMIM leader Rubina Patel alleged their citizenship was already verified by West Bengal authorities. Following social media outrage and AIMIM intervention, the detainees were released late Tuesday night after document verification confirmed their Indian nationality.
