KOLKATA: Four Bangladeshi nationals arrested under the Foreigners Act were sentenced to a year's imprisonment on Thursday by a city court.
They were arrested from

last year after they failed to provide any valid
document
for their stay in India.
According to sources, four persons - Md
Sahidul Islam
, Md Rabiul Islam, Noor Zaman and Md Salim - were spotted in front of the Big Bazar in Sealdah last April. When police started to question them, they found that none of them had any valid document.
During interrogation, they confessed to have entered India through
