Bangladeshi Couple's Indian IDs Prompt Document Revocation
Imagine a couple from Bangladesh who were visiting India.
They had passports to enter, but somehow they got Indian ID cards like voter IDs and Aadhaar cards.
The government is now saying these documents should be taken away because they shouldn't have them.
The couple lived in a village in North Dinajpur.
The authorities are looking into how this happened.
One official is removing the man's name from the voter list.
A local politician and a member of parliament have expressed their concern over the situation.
Bangladeshi couple obtained Indian identity documents, according to Calcutta FRRO.
The FRRO sent a letter to multiple agencies urging the revocation of the documents.
The couple, Krishnakanta Bain and Shilpi Mondal, resided in a North Dinajpur village.
