Political row erupts over detention of 'B'deshis' in Odisha
The Morning Standard
|July 10, 2025
WITH the state government's crackdown on suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and Rohingyas sparking a political row, with the Trinamool Congress in particular voicing stiff opposition, Odisha police on Wednesday released at least 25 of the 444 people who were shifted to holding centres in Jharsuguda since Monday night.
Police said the document verification of the 25 people was completed and they were ascertained to be Indian nationals. The verification of the remaining 419 persons was currently underway and further action will be initiated accordingly.
The release of the 25 people came hours after the TMC claimed they were migrant workers from West Bengal and alleged they were being held illegally.
