Kolkata Post Office Worker Granted Bail in Passport Case
A post office worker in Kolkata was arrested for allegedly giving out passports to the wrong person as part of a fake passport scheme.
The worker, Biswajit Ghosh, was granted bail because the judge said his actions were only a failure to do his job properly, not a crime.

The worker delivered 29 passports to a person not authorized to receive them.
The judge said that Ghosh did not have any money linked to the alleged crime, just a mistake at work.
