Budge Budge woman speaking in Bengali grilled by Mum cops

1 2 Kolkata: A 39-year-old Budge Budge woman speaking with her elder son in Bengali while returning from work in Navi Mumbai was taken to a local police station for questioning on being suspected to be Bangladeshi. The Budge Budge police station quickly conducted a background verification check and informed their Mumbai counterparts, leading to her release. The victim, Soma Bibi (39), said the incident took place around 8 pm on Aug 7. While returning home from the mall she works at, Soma was speaking to her elder son in Budge Budge over phone. A woman in plain clothes allegedly stopped her, asked where she lived, what she did, and demanded to see her identity documents. Despite showing multiple IDs, the woman was reportedly unsatisfied and took Soma to the police station. Soma said she refused to enter the lock-up, telling officers, "I have committed no crime. Please give me time, I will produce all documents." The hapless family in Budge Budge also approached the office of Trinamool national secretary Abhishek Banerjee, also the local MP.
