A 32-year-old man identified as Biplob Soren was taken into custody by Navy authorities at the Ezhimala Naval Academy in Kannur, Kerala, on September 18. Officials allege that Soren, a contract worker in the academy's laundry section, concealed his Bangladeshi nationality for nearly a year. Navy personnel reportedly discovered documents on his mobile phone indicating his citizenship after observing suspicious behaviour. This detention follows recent arrests of five Bangladeshi women in Kannur who were found to be using illegally obtained Aadhaar cards.
