While police released 25 people on Wednesday, 277 more were allowed to leave on the day after their documents established they were Indian citizens. The verification of the remaining 142 people is underway, and further action will be taken accordingly, said the police.

Meanwhile, the TMC has stepped up its attack on the Odisha government over the detention, stating they were all migrant workers from West Bengal. It also alleged that they were being harassed in the holding centers.
