Police in Gurugram, Haryana, have detained six Muslim laborers from Malda, West Bengal, suspecting them of being Bangladeshi nationals. According to family members and rights activists, the men are being forced to work at the police station and are only being fed once a day. There are fears they may be forcibly pushed into Bangladesh. In response, the Migrant Workers' Solidarity Platform and several departments of the West Bengal government have called for immediate intervention. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the incident, saying, “Speaking Bengali alone is becoming a reason for harassment under the label of ‘Bangladeshi’.”
