Karnataka HC Criticizes Police for Arresting Man Reporting Illegal Immigrants
'Stop Appeasing Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants': Karnataka HC Slams Bengaluru Police Over Doctor's Arrest · freepressjournal.in

A man named Nagendra reported to the police about suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Bengaluru.

Instead of investigating his report, the police arrested him based on a complaint by a woman named Nazreena.

The Karnataka High Court criticized the police for this action, saying it was a misuse of the legal process.

The court asked why the police did not investigate the illegal immigrants but instead arrested the person who reported them.

The court also said that such actions might stop people from reporting important information to the police.

The court asked the police to explain their actions and to take legal measures against illegal immigrants instead of harassing the complainant.

Nagendra's lawyer argued that he was acting in the nation's interest and that the case against him was unwarranted.

“It is high time the system stops supporting illegal immigrants, that too by registering crimes against persons of the city who have only shown such people staying illegally in the city.”
