Jalil Akhtar, a 66-year-old from West Bengal, was jailed for 87 days despite having Indian citizenship documents, appearing on three voter rolls and clearing the latest electoral-roll revision. In this interview, Akhtar described how he was shuttled between jail and two holding centres, faced two attempted deportations, and had no contact with his family for more than a month. His case comes amid increasing reports of Muslims being detained and deported without due process since the BJP came to power in the State.
