Delhi Police Release Former Enclave Dwellers After Detention
Some people who used to live in a place called an enclave in Bangladesh were stopped by the police in Delhi.
The police thought they might be from Bangladesh, but they weren't.
They showed the police their identity cards, like the ones that let you vote and prove you are Indian.
The police let them go and even gave them food and a place to stay while they checked things out.
The people went back to their jobs, and their families were happy they were safe.
Delhi police released seven former enclave dwellers from Bangladesh.
The individuals were detained last week on suspicion of being Bangladeshi infiltrators.
Detainees provided identity proofs, including voter and Aadhaar cards, and a temporary travel pass from the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
The police arranged transportation back to their workplace and provided food and accommodation during custody.
The group consists of individuals and their children who had migrated from former Indian enclaves in Bangladesh.
