Four Bengal Workers Released After Detention in Chhattisgarh

Four workers from West Bengal were taken into custody by Chhattisgarh police on Tuesday, after authorities suspected them of being Bangladeshi nationals. The men, who were employed in a local factory, were held at the district police station in Raipur for a brief period. After a review of their documents and a clarification from their employer, the police released them on Thursday, stating that there was no evidence to support the initial suspicion. The incident has raised questions about the procedures followed in cross-border identity checks within the state.
