Mumbai, September 27: A Kolkata-based businessman recently discovered that his wife, whom he has been married to for 14 years, is actually a Bangladeshi national. He has taken legal action against her, claiming she used him to gain Indian citizenship. According to India Today, the man, identified as Tabish Ehsan (37), a resident of West Bengal's Asansol, married Nazia Ambreen in 2009. Nazia had told him that she was a native of Uttar Pradesh.

The reports said Tabish and Nazia's marriage was a smooth ride until 2022; however, it went downhill after the birth of their second daughter. Nazia abruptly moved to her maternal home before giving birth and ended all communication with Tabish. "I met Nazia at a marriage ceremony for the first time, and we got married after our relatives agreed. It was an arranged marriage. Before getting married, she claimed that she was born and brought up in Uttar Pradesh. There wasn't any doubt about her citizenship initially", Tabish told the media outlet.
