IndiaThe Karnataka High Court criticized the West Bengal government for delaying the verification of the citizenship documents of Rafikul Biswas, a school bus driver detained in Bengaluru. Biswas, who claims to be an Indian citizen by birth and holds a voter ID card, was detained after police alleged he was an undocumented Bangladeshi migrant. His lawyer argued that citizenship should not depend on the ruling party of a state, highlighting concerns over arbitrary detention and deportation. The court expressed frustration with the government's repeated requests for more time, emphasizing the inefficiency. The case reflects broader concerns about the treatment of Bengali-speaking individuals, particularly Muslims, in states like West Bengal and others under BJP leadership, where there have been reports of mass detentions and forced returns to Bangladesh.
