KOLKATA:

Three residents from Murshidabad's Hariharpara—Rakibul Islam, Sainul Islam and Hasibul Seikh—were working as construction labourers under a contractor from Baligoda in Jagatsinghpur in Odisha.

Reportedly, they claimed that they went to Odisha for work 20 years ago. They alleged that Odisha police took them from their workplace only for speaking Bengali.
